Despite filing her bombshell lawsuit against Disney in late July seeking $50million in damages, Scarlett Johansson miraculously appears to have stayed on good terms with the mouse house.
Marvel Entertainment – that was bought by Disney in 2009 for $4billion – is set to work with the 36-year-old actress again in a project that is not related to the Black Widow franchise.
Feige, 48, made an effusive speech about the star, calling her ‘an enormously talented storyteller’ and teasing ‘we’re already are working with Scarlett on another not, non-Black Widow-related top secret that Marvel Studios is producing.’

Feige added that he believes Johansson to be ‘a very, very smart producer’ in his speech.
He continued to gush: ‘Scarlett is one of the most talented, versatile and beloved actors of our time. It has truly been a pleasure to work with someone of her caliber from those epic training sessions preparing for the hallway fight in Iron Man 2, to the around the world press tour for Avengers Endgame, to partnering with you as a producer on Black Widow.’
‘Working with you, Scarlett has truly been one of the most memorable and rewarding collaborations of my career. Thank you for everything. Congratulations. You’re of course a real-life superhero,’ he added.
Take that! Scarlett settled her lawsuit with the mouse house in July this year
In September this year, Johansson and Disney quickly buried the hatchet over the online release of Black Widow, settling the bobmshell lawsuit between the star and the studio.
Johansson filed her lawsuit in July alleging that she lost out on more than $50million as a result of the film being released on streaming service Disney+ at the same time as its debut in theaters.
The actress claimed she had been guaranteed that Black Widow would have an exclusive theatrical release, and that the bulk of her salary was based on the box office performance, but Disney countered that Johansson was paid $20 million for the film regardless.
