Them putting out the statement acting like she was being greedy during covid for trying to get monies owed her is just full on scummy. It’s actually Perlmutter levels of scummy. I can see why Feige was pissed.

Wait, Batista was broke when he got hired for the first Guardians movie? I'm curious now... did he have a gambling problem or make some really bad investments? Did his accountant f*** him over? Did being around Ric Flair so much rub off on him and make him throw money at everything?
Most likely still living the lifestyle he had when he was cashing WWE paycheques while not having a regular income. The word at the time of his first departure was that he was likely to stay or would soon return because he lived expensive and didn't appear to have many options outside wrestling. Yeah, the MMA stuff wasn't really hitting, and his acting roles had been minimal. Didn't his second wife also have cancer? I know they broke up, but still, medical stuff adds up very quickly.

They divorced in 2006, so I imagine that her medical bills didn't affect him. But he's a good dude, so I'd not be surprised if he helped out financially.

It's because there's no doubt they kissed his ass, big time. They weren't gonna run the risk of pissing off the biggest male star in Hollywood. They still want him to be in movie franchises for them. Disney kissing the ass of Dwayne kissing their ass. Like an ass kissing Ouroboros

So to add more to this whole thing, The Wrap found out from Disney sources that Iger and Chapek weren't getting along, was "mortified" by the lawsuit and thought that Disney "bungled it". You can read more here if you don't want to be like me and get another trial subscription to something.

I really dont like it but Im on Disneys side here. If they are adding D+ totals to the box office numbers as it regards to her pay then IMO she should have no complaint. $30 per buy means the equivalent of 3-4 tickets on average. Sure some people may invite lots over but some will buy it for 1. It will cost repeat ticket buys but those are going to be weak anyway. Most people who chanced it once are not going to do it multiple times.
I really hate to say it but the movie should either have been held for longer or everyone lowered their expectations more. Im sure ScarJo was hoping for a big payday but its hard to feel much sympathy when thousands are out of work.

There's no chance that that was in her contract at the time though since D+ wasn't even a thing. They may be offering it now that she's rightfully suing, but that's after they put her on blast acting like she was selfish during a pandemic for wanting what they owed.

Also, it needs to be said again, if they're f***ing with one of their top stars in one of their top franchises, they're f***ing with everyone. Like, these companies are always out for themselves regardless.
Not even saying ScarJo isn't doing it for herself because, yeah, but we shouldn't be acting like it's an either or thing. Disney can afford to pay her in the same way they can afford to not fire the workers they have.

But is there going to be a Night Monkey spinoff to the Spider-Man franchise?

Bought the Blu Ray on Saturday. Really enjoyed it. Anyone else realize that Red Guardian is the greatest hero in the MCU? {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}In the beginning he is undercover at SHIELD and steals/destroys what would become Dreykovs mind control tech. Mind control seems to be extreme for SHIELD until you remember they were controlled by HYDRA. Who if they had mind control would have won for sure.

It's on Disney+ for free now, if anyone wanted to give it a second watch.
