Elizabeth Olsen Backs Scarlett Johansson Amid Disney Lawsuit

The Scarlett Witch has spoken!

Elizabeth Olsen voiced support for her Avengers co-star Scarlett Johansson amid her ongoing Black Widow lawsuit against Disney. Olsen said in a joint Vanity Fair interview with Jason Sudeikis,

“I think she’s so tough and literally when I read that I was like, ‘Good for you Scarlett,’”

While Olsen voiced concern about

“small movies getting the opportunity to be seen in theaters,”

she said she’s

“not worried on Scarlett’s behalf.”

“When it comes to actors and their earnings, I mean, that’s just, that’s just all contracts. So it’s either in the contract or it’s not,”

Besides Olsen, the only other Marvel actor to publicly comment on the lawsuit is “Guardians of the Galaxy” star Dave Bautista, who responded to the news on Twitter, writing, “Told em they should’ve made a #Drax movie but noooooo!” Alec Baldwin showed support by tweeting, “#TeamScarlett.”
