Elizabeth Olsen, who plays Wanda Maximoff in the MCU (most recently in 'Wandavision'), has voiced her support of Scarlett Johansson.
Scarlett Johansson is currently embroiled in a legal battle with Disney over the box office receipts for 'Black Widow.'
A lawsuit filed by the star's attorneys allege that her contract was breached when the studio opted not to debut the film exclusively in theatres.
They claim that this resulted in lower ticket sales than expected for the Marvel movie, when much of Johansson’s compensation was tied to the box office performance of 'Black Widow'.
Disney clapped back at the actress in a statement reading: "There is no merit whatsoever to this filing.
"The lawsuit is especially sad and distressing in its callous disregard for the horrific and prolonged global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic."
They claimed that Scarlett Johansson has already received $20 million for her work.
They added that "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."
Recently, Disney announced (via Mobilesyrup.com) that 'Black Widow' has earned over $125 million from streaming.
To date, the superhero movie has also earned almost $370 million at the box office.
Elizabeth Olsen starred opposite Johansson in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron', 'Captain America: Civil War', 'Avengers: Infinity War', and 'Avengers: Endgame'.
During a joint Vanity Fair interview with Jason Sudeikis, she was asked about Scarlett Johansson's lawsuit with Disney.
Olsen said she's "not worried on Scarlett's behalf".
She continued: "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."
Olsen added: "I think she’s so tough and literally when I read that I was like, “good for you Scarlett.”"
Sudeikis added: "It is appropriately bad-ass and on brand."
