"This merger will stifle creativity, weaken free speech and cost people their jobs," the actor adds The post Mark Ruffalo Bemoans Paramount Getting Approval for Warner Bros. Merger: ‘An Incredibly Disappointing Outcome’ appeared first on TheWrap .

Mark Ruffalo expressed his dissatisfaction following the judge's approval of the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger settlement on Wednesday, describing it as "a bad deal for this country." In an X post, Ruffalo argued that the merger would stifle creativity, weaken free speech and result in job losses. He maintained that this decision was disappointing for the hundreds of thousands who fought against it but added that the movement and resolve would not wane.

The fight was not just about this merger, but the broader struggle against powerful billionaires prioritizing their interests. Paramount's response was nonchalant, while Ruffalo's supporters faced backlash for his comments regarding Oracle's business ties to Israel. Despite the controversy, Ruffalo's stance remains firm, urging supporters to join the fight against what he perceives as corrupt oligarchs exploiting the public.
