It seems Scarlett Johansson and Disney are in good terms again, as it was revealed that the lawsuit filed by the Hollywood star has been settled.

The actress who recently welcomed her new baby boy with husband Colin Host, claimed the company had breached the contract with the release of the highly-anticipated movie   Black Widow , previously promising an exclusive wide theatrical release.

And while the terms of the settlement remain private, it was reported that Disney agreed to give Scarlett more than $40 million in compensation, after the star requested for $80 million more on top of her $20 million payment for the movie.

“I’m incredibly proud of the work we’ve done together over the years and have greatly enjoyed my creative relationship with the team,” Scarlett shared.
