It seems like ScarJo has somebody in her corner.

On Friday, the WandaVision star offered her support for her Avengers costar amid her legal battle against Disney.

In July, Scarlett filed a breach of contract lawsuit against Marvel Studios and Disney, stating that the entertainment companies' simultaneous release of Black Widow on Disney+ and in theaters caused her to lose out on some serious cash.

The star claimed she was promised an exclusive theatrical release in her contract.

During a new joint interview for Vanity Fair with Jason Sudeikis, Elizabeth said she was "worried" about the future of theaters and if they would survive in the age of streaming services.

"But 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," the 32-year-old said.

When asked about Johansson's case, she added, "I think she's so tough and literally when I read that I was like, 'Good for you, Scarlett.'"

While it looks like Scarlett could be in for a long battle against Disney, it's nice to see one of her Marvel castmates speak out in her defense.

Meanwhile, the Black Widow star has more pressing things keeping her busy these days. The 36-year-old recently welcomed her second child, a son, with her husband, Colin Jost.
