Emma Stone to star in Disney's 'Cruella' - Page 5

Emma Stone must've realized that since Scarlett Johannson is probably going to lose her lawsuit, she would too if she filed one. She just sealed the deal with Disney to star in Cruella 2.

That's a pretty stupid conclusion to come to. If anything they signed her quickly for Cruella 2 (btw... yuck!) to keep them in her good graces. It wasn't like Disney was offering Scarlett "Black Widow 2" or anything at all, really (more like: "I hope you had fun starring in the Black Widow movie... because it is the last time probably you will ever play the part!" -- not a great position from which to expect her not to sue you).

Quite sad.
I wanted to see Disney being hurt. At least a little.

I'm sorry if it came across as a stupid conclusion. It's just that she was in fact thinking about suing the company after Johannson did. I provided a source on the previous page. Your theory sounds plausible. Here's what the company said after she came to an agreement.

Quote:

While the media landscape has been disrupted in a meaningful way for all distributors, their creative partners cannot be left on the sidelines to carry a disproportionate amount of the downside without the potential for upside. This agreement demonstrates that there can be an equitable path forward that protects artists and aligns studios’ interests with talent. We are proud to work alongside Emma and Disney, and appreciate the studio’s willingness to recognize her contributions as a creative partner. We are hopeful that this will open the door for more members of the creative community to participate in the success of new platforms.”

Mmm... still smacks of what I said. I hope Emma isn't too pleased that she's being used as a figurehead in this way.

To be fair, I think she was on the way out after Black Widow regardless of what went down or not.

Same here. Long overdue for some humble pie.

One has to also figure Emma Stone doesn't have anywhere near as much leverage as Scarlett does. She needs the Disney gig, whereas Scarlett's tenure as Black Widow was all but over with anyway and she'd have nothing significant to gain by kissing Disney's ass at this point. Other studios will still hire her, she's a big name. Whereas Emma's name doesn't carry anywhere near the same clout, and if she plays nice she might still get two or three more terrible "Cruella" movies out of this gig.
