After “Black Widow” star Scarlett Johansson filed a breach-of-contract <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/scarlett-johansson-sues-disney-over-black-widow-release">lawsuit</a> against Disney for the studio’s decision to release her film to both streaming platforms and theaters, many industry insiders speculated that Emma Stone, who had a similar deal for “Cruella,” would follow suit. But it seems the actress and her team found a different method of addressing the issue.
Rather than sue, Stone has negotiated a sequel deal that will increase her pay from $8 million to something in the low eight-figure range, according to The Hollywood Reporter. More importantly, however, Stone’s team managed to secure a percentage of streaming earnings — the key point in dispute in Johansson’s complaint.
