Disney is investing $1 billion in OpenAI, the entertainment giant announced on Thursday. As part of the deal, OpenAI users will be able to create AI images and videos featuring some of Disney's copyrighted characters. OpenAI recently launched Sora, an AI video generation app powered by the Sora 2 video model, which allows users to create short videos by typing in a text prompt. When the app first launched, it freely used copyrighted characters from companies like Disney, before OpenAI ultimately cracked down. Now, users will be able to create content on Sora using characters from Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars universes. The deal also extends to ChatGPT, where users will be able to create images with these characters just by entering a text prompt. “The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence marks an important moment for our industry, and through this collaboration with OpenAI, we will thoughtfully and responsibly extend the reach of our storytelling through generative AI, while respecting and protecting creators and their works,” Disney CEO Bob Iger said in a statement. "Bringing together Disney’s iconic stories and characters with OpenAI’s groundbreaking technology puts imagination and creativity directly into the hands of Disney fans in ways we’ve never seen before," he said. Disney also said that it will now become a "major customer" of OpenAI, and that it will be using its API to "build new products, tools, and experiences," as well as deploy ChatGPT for its employees. SEE ALSO: The best Disney+ deals and bundles in December 2025 While Disney has cozied up with OpenAI, the company has taken a very different approach with other AI companies. In June 2025, Disney and Universal filed a lawsuit against AI company Midjourney, calling the AI image generator a "bottomless pit of plagiarism."Sora ruffled some feathers when it launched this September, too, with the Motion Picture Association urging OpenAI to take action against copyright infringement on the platform. Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.

In a move that, well, certainly feels unexpected, you can now play Fortnite as Kim Kardashian. The game announced limited-edition skins of the reality star. They also released an emote harkening back to that famous "break the internet" cover of Paper magazine from 2014. Here's a video from the game announcing the skins. Kardashian herself posted about it on X. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. The game is hosting the Kim Kardashian Cup on Dec. 12 with winners earning early access to the skins (for free). Otherwise, you'll have to pony up 1,500 V-Bucks. To be fair, Kardashian is far from the only celeb to have Fortnite skin — it's a pretty regular occurrence. Still, it's only a matter of time before we see clips of Kim Kardashian in Fortnite, which is certainly quite the sentence.

On Friday, December 5, Netflix announced that it would be acquiring Warner Bros. in a deal worth $82.7 billion. That made them the winners of a bidding war that kicked off in September, when Paramount just out of nowhere went, "hey, Warner Bros., mind if I buy you?" But Paramount's not quitting just yet. On Monday, December 8, Paramount launched its own hostile takeover bid of Warner Bros. with an offer worth $108.4 billion. What is going on? Why is everyone going after Warner Bros.? And how is this going to impact TV and film going forward? Let's break it down.
