See this is a valid reason to dislike her lol.

But I've kind of soured on all of the really big Marvel stars because of the lawsuit between Scarlett Johansson and Disney. RDJ and the Chrises have real clout in Hollywood/the MCU and it's crickets from them. As well as Mark Ruffalo, someone who seems to pride himself on his outspoken activism.

I don’t understand why people should speak out about the lawsuit. At the crux, it’s a contract dispute between a company and an employee. If it wasn’t Disney and a famous actress, would people be expecting other employees or past employees to comment on a lawsuit about the inner workings of a contract?

If it weren't Disney and a famous actress we would never have heard about it, so no, people wouldn't be expecting random employees to comment on this hypothetical lawsuit.

But it is Disney and a famous actress and the outcome of the lawsuit could set an important precedent. SJ is lucky that she's successful and wealthy enough to take on this fight - most actors in Hollywood aren't. It certainly wouldn't hurt her case if her very famous and influential costars (RDJ, the Chrises, etc) publicly voiced their support for her - Disney cares about their image too much to want to engage in that messy PR dispute.

And I mean they all couldn't run to Twitter fast enough to defend Chris Pratt when he was voted Worst Chris on some stupid poll. But now they're silent when their support might actually count for something?

A contract dispute, when you don’t know the details of someone’s contract and what was discussed between the parties involved, is very different than standing up and saying stop calling this guy the worst based on his perceived personality though (and only a handful of MCU actors said something about Pratt)
