The lawsuit added that "Disney intentionally induced the breach of Marvel contract, without justification, with the aim of preventing Johansson from obtaining the total benefits of his agreement with Marvel".

"Black Widow" added another 78 million dollars in the international market.

In total, the film has so far pocketed 379 million dollars at the box office.

In addition, Disney detailed, in a very unusual and commented gesture in Hollywood, which had achieved 60 million more for sales on the Disney+ platform in its first weekend.
