Just like her character 'Black Widow', Scarlett Johanssen doesn't shy away from a fight.
The Hollywood actor has hit back hard at Disney, the parent company of Marvel, in the latest blow in their ongoing legal battle.
Scarlett Johanssen and Disney are currently engaged in a bitter acrimonious legal battle over the hybrid release, that is both theatrical and streaming, of her solo Marvel movie 'Black Widow', which the actor claims robbed her to the tune of $50 million.

Disney released Black Widow on Premiere Access, Disney+’s Premium Video-On-Demand service, after other Disney films like 'Mulan', 'Raya and the Last Dragon', and 'Cruella' made money on the platform.
Scarlett's lawyer claims, that first came a misogynistic attack against Scarlett Johansson, and now Disney is trying to hide its misconduct in a confidential arbitration.
Disney, however, has dismissed the claims, they say that the hybrid release model was discussed with the actor and she was not blindsided at all.
Marvel has assured the actor that she will be credited with 100% of the receipts from box-office earnings and streaming revenue, as mentioned in her contract, along with any additional compensation that she may want, even though Marvel has no obligation to do so.
