The Merger That Dare Not Speak Its Name Mark Ruffalo has urged California Attorney General Rob Bonta not to settle the antitrust lawsuit against Paramount Warner Bros. Discovery's merger.
The suit, filed by 12 state attorneys general in July, alleges that the deal would lead to higher prices, fewer movies in theaters, and a decrease in content variety.
Proponents of the merger argue it will create jobs and stimulate innovation, but critics like Ruffalo claim it will stifle competition and drive up costs for consumers.
