Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison may have just gotten more ammunition in his battle for Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD). Netflix appeared to win the bidding war in early December, when its combined offer of cash and stock was accepted by the WBD board. Paramount countered, bypassing the board and going directly to shareholders with an all-cash offer. The weak debut of Versant, Comcast’s spinoff of its cable assets, is now calling into question the value of Netflix’s bid, which according to New York Post columnist Charles Gasparino, depends on the sale of WBD’s own cable assets.
The Paramount WBD bid isn’t going away despite repeated rejection from the Warner Bros. Discovery board — and Paramount is making sure that shareholders hear that loud and clear. Despite a fresh rejection from the board, Paramount is staying the course on its $30-a-share push, again appealing directly to investors as the fight for control of one of Hollywood’s biggest legacy portfolios turns into a high-stakes staring contest.
The DC Elseworlds is looking more like the golden age of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with every new casting announcement. Deadline exclusively reported on Tuesday that Sebastian Stan was in talks for a role in Matt Reeves’ The Batman: Part II. If the deal works out, Stan, who played Bucky Barnes in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, will likely be reteaming with MCU alum Scarlett Johansson.
Warner Bros. Discovery has formally escalated its resistance to Paramount Skydance’s takeover effort, urging shareholders to reject the amended $108 billion proposal and making it clear that the board sees the offer as both financially inadequate and structurally risky. As WB Rejects Paramount, the move illustrates just how far apart the two sides remain—and why Warner Bros. believes the bid poses long-term dangers to shareholder value.
