The legal battle dates back to a 2017 agreement between Sony's Columbia Pictures and Wanda's kids entertainment division, which has now turned sour.
Sony is accusing Wanda of failing to uphold its end of the bargain, while Wanda argues Sony reneged on promises to provide content and resources - a high-stakes clash between two entertainment titans.
