Obviously I don’t know what the details of he suit against Disney but the truth is Disney fucked up and they knew it.
Disney tried to gain a few extra bucks at the cost of a legal battle with Johansson. If Disney won it would have been a clear signal that Disney is willing to screw over top talent for a few million dollars.
Not to compare “Black Widow” to “Endgame”, but that’s squabbling over millions when billions are at stake.
Looking at someone like Johansson that’s squabbling over millions when tens of hundreds millions are at stake. Contracts with top talent now take longer, top talent is a little less likely to work with Disney.
It all but guaranteed a loss for Disney.
The settlement was Disney’s way of saying “we fucked up”, and truth be told was probably at least partially responsible for Bob Chapek being replaced as CEO.
I agree but this article just seems to clarify they have no idea what branding works.
It’s “Marvel Spotlight” so you don’t need to have seen anything. Then Echo comes out and the first episode is basically a recap and hopefully enough context.
Now it’s “Marvel Television” which means the same thing so watch “Agatha All Along” which will 100% depend on WandaVision and maybe a little bit of Multiverse of Madness.
I agree that She-Hulk or even more so Moon Knight can be watched solo, but maybe give some context.
She-Hulk does depend on Endgame. I get Endgame is the biggest movie of all time (at release time), so it’s a given, but figure out how to clarify or set the clear expectations of a recap.
