While Marvel has replaced actors (Don Cheadle for Terence Howard most
notably), there has been a narrative crafted around Johannson's work with
Marvel that it was a slight that she/Black Widow hadn't had her own film. If
they hadn't come to terms on this particular film, I don't think it would have
been made, as it's structured in such a way that it's easily removed from
Marvel's various phases and timelines.

The studios responded by turning to franchise movies where the audience
identifies with the character and not the actor. If Disney can't come to an
agreement with Johannson they find a new Black Widow and after everybody vents
on social media they just move on.
I think everybody knows Disney is screwing the talent by opening streaming the
same day while pretending the only revenue that counts comes from theaters.
Somebody with deep pockets has to draw a line in the sand so they don't get
away with it and make it standard. It seems Scarlett Johannson decided to take
that stand.
