After making headlines over a contract dispute and settling out of court, it looks like actress Scarlett Johansson and Disney have put the past behind them.
Speaking to THR this week, Johansson talked about the fallout of her lawsuit and says she thinks it ultimately was a positive for the industry at large.
She adds: “I have had some of the best times of my career working for both of those studios. I feel really excited that I get to continue my work with Disney and with my Marvel family.”
Johansson will work again with Disney on the “Tower of Terror” film at the studio, and Kevin Feige reportedly indicates Johansson is teaming up with the studio on “another non-Black Widow-related top-secret Marvel Studios project with her as a producer.”
It’s not clear what that project is at present. Speaking of actors talking to Marvel, “Fifty Shades” and “The Fall” star Jamie Dornan tells The New York Times he’s intent on joining superhero projects and has met with Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige.
Dornan, who scored raves earlier this year for his work in “Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar,” says becoming a parent and losing his father has seen him reassess his priorities:
“I’m more ambitious than I’ve ever let on before. It’s like a necessity to deliver and provide, very caveman-esque: I must succeed for these precious little people. Also, since my dad died, it’s lit this extra fire within me, this extra burner of wanting to succeed.”
That’s not all though as Michael Keaton has also talked up Marvel this week. Appearing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Tuesday, he spoke about his work as Vulture in “Spider-Man: Homecoming” and the upcoming “Morbius” and revealed he shots scenes as Vulture on Wednesday, but didn’t specify for what film.
