Scarlett Johansson has opened up about her "Black Widow" lawsuit controversy with Disney+. The 37-year-old actress appeared at the American Cinematheque event in California on Tuesday and spoke with AP Entertainment regarding the lawsuit.

The official Twitter handle of the outlet shared a one-minute video of the actress posing on the red carpet before speaking with the host. "It is important in general to know your own worth and stand up yourself," Johansson said when asked about the lawsuit controversy.

She further explained, "In this industry, I have been working for such a long time and it's been almost 30 years. I have seen so much that has been shifted over those 30 years."

The actress admitted that she would have been blacklisted for standing up for herself back in the day, but thankfully there has been a positive change in the film industry in the past few years.

Johansson and Disney settled their legal dispute over "Black Widow" in September.

"I am happy to have resolved our differences with Disney," Johansson said in a statement obtained by Entertainment Weekly. "I'm incredibly proud of the work we've done together over the years and have greatly enjoyed my creative relationship with the team. I look forward to continuing our collaboration in years to come."

Disney Studios chairman Alan Bergman also reflected on working with Johansson in the future and noted, "I'm very pleased that we have been able to come to a mutual agreement with Scarlett Johansson regarding 'Black Widow.' We appreciate her contributions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and look forward to working together on a number of upcoming projects."

Bergman also teased that the actress will be next seen in Disney's "Tower of Terror." However, no further details have been shared yet.

Johansson sued Disney in July for streaming "Black Widow" online at the same time the movie was released in theaters. The actress was supposed to receive a percentage from the box office proceeds, but it was hampered due to the simultaneous release.

Johansson will next feature in upcoming movies "Asteroid City," "Little Shop of Horrors" and "Bride."
