Uh-oh! Scarlett Johansson, a.k.a. Black Widow, is suing Disney for the digital release of her character’s solo film. According to the actress, her contract states that the film will only have a theatrical release and putting it on a streaming platform is a clear breach of contract. However, Disney replied to the actress’s allegations, saying that such actions are a “callous disregard” for the current health situation. The company also claimed that no breach of contract occurred. No news yet as to how this will affect the actress’ participation in the Marvel Cinematic Universe moving forward.


Kim Ming Gwi will be edited from Nevertheless episodes following cheating scandal



Nevertheless continues to trend on Netflix. Aside from Jae Eon (Song Kang) and Na-Bi (Han So-Hee)’s rollercoaster romance, side couples in the story are also capturing audience’s attention. One of these plot detours include Bit-Na (Yang Hye-Ji) and Nam Gyu-Hyun’s (Kim Ming Gwi) friends-to-lovers arc. In the recent episode of the drama, we see Bit-Na and Gyu-Hyun struggle with their relationship’s sudden turn.

However, it looks like fans of the couple won’t be able to see much of them moving forward. Kim Ming Gwi’s scenes will be reduced to as little as possible throughout the run of the series, following his recently revealed cheating scandal. Accusations from the budding actor’s ex-girlfriend were made public, revealing evidence of multiple acts of cheating, to the extent of violating quarantine protocols to date other people, during the course of their relationship. The actor has admitted to the allegations, issuing a written public apology on his Instagram account. Yikes!
