Kevin Feige Reportedly Furious Over Scarlett Johansson/Disney Standoff

Posted by: Jennifer Retzlaff July 30, 2021 Comments Off on Kevin Feige Reportedly Furious Over Scarlett Johansson/Disney Standoff

Scarlett Johansson and Disney are in a show down regarding the release of Black Widow on Disney+ Premier Access.  She believes to be a breach of contract that’s significantly impacted the money she was due to earn from the Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster.

Disney was quick to respond calling it a “callous disregard” in pursuing additional remuneration when the planet is still recovering from the biggest health crisis in generations.

Stuck in the middle is Kevin Feige who seems not happy with the situation.

“Feige is a company man, and not prone to corporate showdowns or shouting matches. But I’m told he’s angry and embarrassed. He lobbied Disney against the day-and-date plan for Black Widow, preferring the big screen exclusivity and not wanting to upset his talent. And then when the sh*t hit the fan, the movie started tanking, and Johansson’s team threatened litigation, he wanted Disney to make this right with her. (Disney declined to comment on Feige.)”

Feige is definitely caught in the middle of a very ugly battle.

About Jennifer Retzlaff

My name is Jennifer Retzlaff and I became a lifelong Disney fan during my first trip to Walt Disney World in 6th grade. From that moment, Disney became a big part of my life. I live in Iowa with my husband and two kids who are growing up too quickly for my liking. I started introducing my love for Disney early to my family with a Disney honeymoon and then trips when our youngest of 18 months. Since then, our family has been to Walt Disney World over five times and we continue to plan and dream for the next trip. I love the magic that Disney brings to people through the theme parks, cruises, adventures and movies they create. As a teacher, I try to bring that magic into my classroom to help kids believe that “If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It.” I recently reached a dream of mine as I joined Magic Vacation Planner as a personal travel advisor. With this team, I can now help others plan magical vacations. As a passionate writer, I also have my own blog at magicalvacationsbyjen which is also where you can follow me on instagram for trip reviews along with tips and tricks for your next magical vacation.
