Disney has resolved its legal dispute with Gina Carano regarding her 2021 dismissal from "The Mandalorian" due to controversial social media posts. The settlement comes as Paramount completes an $8.4 billion merger with Skydance Media, aiming to revolutionize the company with a tech-focused vision.

Despite these gains, Warner's shares dipped following a decline in cable TV revenue. Meanwhile, the Edinburgh Fringe showcases bold American acts challenging cultural stereotypes.
