And just like that, David Ellison is in the driver’s seat.

The newly minted executive leadership team at Skydance, led by chairman and CEO Ellison and co-CEO Ynon Kreiz, held an on-the-record press gaggle at the Paramount lot in Hollywood, hours after their hard-fought acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery officially closed.

Both in jeans and black blazers, Ellison and Kreiz fielded questions from the national press for nearly 30 minutes on the lot’s Stage 3. The event kicked off with a high-octane trailer showcasing the staggering amount of IP Skydance now owns — from Batman to “Game of Thrones,” the Star Trek universe to “Scream.”
