On February 22, 2026, Paramount Skydance announced that a key U.S. antitrust waiting period for its proposed $108.4 billion all-cash takeover bid for Warner Bros. Discovery expired on February 19, removing a procedural hurdle ahead of a looming Department of Justice review. Previously, on February 21, actor Mark Ruffalo questioned director James Cameron's silence regarding potential monopolization concerns surrounding the acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. Warner Bros. Discovery is reportedly evaluating two major takeover offers, one from Paramount Skydance and another from Netflix, a situation that has heightened antitrust concerns within the Hollywood industry amid streaming growth and declining theater attendance.
