The response saw Disney reveal how much Scarlett Johansson has already made from Black Widow, and say they have nothing to answer for.

If Scarlett Johansson's lawsuit against Disney over the studio's dual release of Black Widow in theaters and on Disney+ simultaneously hasn't caused enough fuss on its own, the corporation has fired back a scathing response, in which they branded the actress "callous" and even went to the unprecedented lengths of revealing just how much money the actress has made from the movie to make their point.

Johansson's contract and furthermore, the release of Black Widow on Disney+ with Premier Access has significantly enhanced her ability to earn additional compensation on top of the $20M she has received to date.".

The simultaneous release of Black Widow on Disney+ Premier Access was the biggest Disney release to use the day and date strategy, although it was not alone in doing so, with Warner Bros.

The lawsuit claims that Disney used the movie to build their streaming service subscriber numbers and give its stock price a boost coming out of the pandemic, but it goes on to say that the company's move is at the expense of Scarlett Johansson whose "compensation would largely be based on box office receipts".
