It appears thatĀ Scarlett Johansson‘s post-lawsuit settlement statement about ABC’s parent company Disney wasn’t just the standard Hollywood make-nice.
At Thursday night’s star-packed American Cinematheque tribute to the actress at the Beverly Hilton, Marvel Studios headĀ Kevin FeigeĀ revealed that Johansson is working on “another non-Black Widow-related top-secret Marvel Studios project with her as a producer.”
As previously reported, Johansson sued Marvel Studios’ parent company Disney over the decision to simultaneously releaseĀ Black WidowĀ on Disney+ and in theaters. She alleged the decision cut into the movie’s box office earnings potential, and therefore her bottom line as a producer. When the case was settled in September, ScarJo had said she was looking forward to “continuing our collaboration in years to come.”
On the red carpet Thursday evening, Johansson reflected toĀ The Hollywood ReporterĀ about the “surreal,” situation. “I feel mostly very fortunate that nobody will have to go through what I went through and that it’s made…a positive impact in the industry and hopefully for artists and creatives’ lives and livelihood,” she said.
At the event, Johansson was feted by many of her Marvel movie co-stars and directorĀ Jon Favreau, who praised her work ethic after he cast her in theĀ Black WidowĀ role.Ā Jamie Lee CurtisĀ and Scarlett’s twin brother,Ā Hunter, also heaped on the love.
Chris EvansĀ noted he’s known Scarlett for 20 years, saying she’s like his older sister, “even though I am technically older.”
He joked, “…thereās just no one else in the world that I would rather annoy. I donāt know what it is…I see her focusing trying to think about the day and I just want to start singing show tunes six inches from her face. I can’t help myself.”
