BLACK WIDOW Lawsuit Settled, Disney Moving Forward With Scarlett Johanson's "TOWER OF TERROR"

 

Scarlett Johansson and Disney have settled their differences in court and the proposed Tower Of Terror adaptation is back on the docket.

After the Avengers actor filed suit over the Marvel Studios movie's day-and-date release on Disney+, rumors swirled online that Disney dropped Tower of Terror — a film adaptation of the Disney Parks elevator drop ride that had Johansson attached to produce and star.

Disney Studios chairman Alan Bergman confirmed Johansson's Tower of Terror is still in the works:

"I'm very pleased that we have been able to come to a mutual agreement with Scarlett Johansson regarding Black Widow," said Bergman (via The Hollywood Reporter). "We appreciate her contributions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and look forward to working together on a number of upcoming projects, including Disney's Tower of Terror."

Said Johansson in a statement: "I am happy to have resolved our differences with Disney. I'm incredibly proud of the work we've done together over the years and have greatly enjoyed my creative relationship with the team. I look forward to continuing our collaboration in years to come."

In June, Collider reported Johansson would produce and star in a rebooted Tower of Terror scripted by Josh Cooley (Pixar's Toy Story 4).

A treatment for Tower Of Terror has been in production limbo since 2017. We look forward to seeing where a Tower Of Terror film could go. There was a 1997 made-for-TV movie about the attraction that starred Kirsten Dunst and Steve Guttenberg.
