Scarlett
Johansson
best
known
as
Black
Widow
recently
filed
a
suit
against
Disney
for
her
film's
hybrid
release
with
Disney
Plus.
Now
reports
have
revealed
that
Elizabeth
Olsen
has
opened
up
in
support
of
her
Avengers
co-star's
legal
battle.
Meanwhile,
other
co-stars
of
the
franchise
like
Mark
Rufflow,
Robert
Downey
Jr,
Chris
Evans
have
stayed
mum
on
the
matter.
Elizabeth
recently
talked
about
the
effects
of
COVID-19
on
theatrical
releases
with
Vanity
Fair.
The
actress
also
opened
up
about
Scarlett's
lawsuit
with
Disney
and
said,
"I
think
she's
so
tough
and
literally
when
I
read
that
I
was
like,
'Good
for
you
Scarlett.
When
it
comes
to
actors
and
their
earnings,
I
mean,
that's
just,
that's
just
all
contracts.
So
it's
either
in
the
contract
or
it's
not."
For
the
unversed,
Scarlett
in
the
suit
claimed
that
her
contract
was
breached
when
the
film
was
made
available
simultaneously
on
the
OTT
platform
of
the
company-
Disney
Plus
Premium
Access,
the
same
day
it
hit
theatres.
Jason
Sudeikis
who
was
also
at
the
interview
said
Scarlett's
legal
move
was
"appropriately
bad-ass
and
on-brand".
To
which
Elizabeth
added
that
she
is
worried
about
movies
being
released
on
streaming
platforms,
reported
The
Hollywood
Reporter.
She
added
that
the
OTT
releases
can
leave
a
negative
effect
on
small-budget
films.
"I
would
like
to
see
art
films
and
art
house
theatres,
and
so
I
do
worry
about
that,
and
people
having
to
keep
these
theatres
alive.
And
I
don't
know
how
financially
that
works
for
these
theatres," Elizabeth
said.
Meanwhile,
Disney
has
denied
breach
of
contract
with
Scarlet
and
reportedly
has
filed
for
private
arbitration
in
the
lawsuit
to
address
whether
Scarlett
is
owed
millions
from
the
hybrid
release
of
the
movie.
