Mark Ruffalo is not staying quiet.

The Oscar-nominated actor and activist, who’s currently starring in the box-office smash “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” sounded off on his Instagram Story Friday about Paramount Skydance’s pending $111 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery. The merger, which is currently being challenged by a dozen state attorney generals, including in California, would reportedly cost 4,500 jobs and also see Paramount Skydance owner David Ellison, a Trump enthusiast (and son of Oracle CEO and Trump megadonor Larry Ellison) in charge of not only the biggest studio in Hollywood but also CNN, which has caused alarm given the MAGA makeover he gave to CBS News.
