Mark Ruffalo<\/a> doesn’t think he’ll be pulled in for many auditions if Paramount and Warner Bros. merge … because, according to him, David and Larry Ellison aren’t the “forgive and forget” types.<\/p>\n

The actor talked about Paramount Skydance’s controversial acquisition<\/a> on a new episode of the “I’ve Had It” podcast … joking that he’s “already on a list” after his open letter opposing the merger gained thousands of signatures.<\/p>\n

Ruffalo says the Ellisons spark a lot of fear in people … quoting one person who told him “these are some vindictive motherf***ers, the Ellisons.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"sub<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Two types of people are signing the open letter, Ruffalo says … people like him — big stars who have the privilege to oppose the merger — and production people who simply can’t afford not to.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"David<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

As you know … Paramount — led by CEO David Ellison — has thrown down<\/a> $110 Billion to acquire WB after Netflix’s $82.7 Billion offer<\/a> was ultimately turned down. Many in the film industry have decried the move and have called on the government to deny the merger, citing antitrust laws.<\/p>\n

Bottom line … if it goes through don’t expect to see Mark Ruffalo making a movie for Paramount anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mark Ruffalo Ellisons Probably Hate Me For Merger Opposition … ‘Vindictive Motherf***ers’ Published May 16, 2026 12:00 PM…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":674276,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75],"class_list":["post-674275","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/674275","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=674275"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/674275\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/674276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=674275"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=674275"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=674275"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
