From what the original story described, Johansson was promised a % of theatrical profits when Black Widow was supposed to be only in theaters. Disney then changed course and put the movie on + Premier because of covid, but didn't amend her contract to include those profits. It would be like your employer cutting employee wages because of covid, and then giving a bonus to upper management. It reeks
