If you didn’t know, the Marvel star sued Disney for the decision to release her movie at home and in theaters at the same time. Here’s how it settled out.
“There’s a lot of tension, just like there is in a lot of industries, because there’s a lot of disruption,” Joe said to Variety of filmmaking amid the pandemic.
“People’s nerves are fraying, and it’s hard to predict what’s going to happen or where anything is going,” he continued.
“I’m glad that the lawsuit’s resolved. I do think it was indicative of significant change that’s been happening. The resolution speaks volumes about the respect for artists moving forward in this changing landscape,” he went on to say.
“Corporations are panicking at the moment, because I think that half the studios are going to disappear in the next 5-10 years, and the game has changed dramatically. There are content producers who can outspend any studio, and it’s just a rounding error for them, because they’re $1 trillion companies. We’ve never seen that before in the business.”
