No. Suits over compensation are common in Hollywood.

I think the dispute over compensation is likely fair, and will be settled out of court.

  The problem is if Disney blacklists her from its main franchises, Star Wars and Marvel and Pixar/Disney animation films, that is more than half of the box office these days. The box office is I think 50% super hero films now. That said I think they won't...

    Sounds very antitrust to me.

        Not exactly, but maybe they shouldn’t have been allowed to buy Pixar, Lucas Films, and Marvel Studios.

    Maybe it was a bad idea to let Disney own almost every major studio and franchise.

      And do their content distribution.

She won't be getting any more roles as Black Widow, anyways.

Mind not using the term "blacklist"? It's racist and othering, ties negativity to Blacks and other PoCs. "Blocklist" and "denylist" are better terms that are neutral and more descriptive.

  In the entertainment Biz unions these days they use "call first list " get a rep for not paying talent and you go on that list.

  Please don't refer to people as "blacks" and "pocs". That's racist as it boils people down to their most superficial trait. I'm being sincere.

    "Black" is a racial category for those who identify with the African diaspora: https://apnews.com/afs:Content:9105661462 https://apnews.com/afs:Content:9105661462 "PoCs" is for people of color, all those identifying as non-white. It's not racist to use these terms, it's racist for you to denigrate them as "boiling people down". Thinking these terms are racist is a property of whiteness. I highly suggest that you read https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Fragility https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Fragility by Robin DiAngelo so you can have some introspec into your white fragility. I'm being sincere.

Also, she is near the end of her run as the character, so has little to lose. Many of the Avengers are moving on to let others take over.

Exactly my thought. I wonder who the next black widow will be.

  The Black Widow movie actually addresses this.
- dmhmr 5y ago
  This was her last time in the role, but the movie kind of answers this question regardless.

Unlikely, she is very talented and extremely popular. She may not do a Marvel Studios project again, but her character's arc is complete now so there's not much of a reason to have her anyway.
