It’s no secret that Disney is releasing films like Black Widow directly onto Disney+ to increase subscribers and thereby boost the company’s stock price – and that it’s hiding behind Covid-19 as a pretext to do so. But ignoring the contracts of the artists responsible for the success of its films in furtherance of this short-sighted strategy violates their rights and we look forward to proving as much in court.Now, Emma Stone is reportedly considering another lawsuit for her film where she depicted the origins of the iconic Disney villain Cruella De Vil. Though the reviews for the film were fantastic, many believe that the dual release hindered the overall earnings of the blockbuster. Former THR Editor Matt Belloni took to his exclusive newsletter What I'm Hearing... to report that the Cruella star is currently considering a lawsuit of her own. "Emma Stone, star of Cruella, is said to be weighing her options," he wrote. He also suggested that Emily Blunt could be the next star to sue after Jungle Cruise releases this weekend. He called Disney "notoriously difficult to deal with". He also said that creatives have been waiting for one of the big names to speak out. https://twitter.com/BUCK_13x/status/1421144043313156102 Should both Stone and later Blunt choose to speak out, then Disney could be facing a complete overturn of their streaming platform.
