John Cena announced the official trailer and release date for Coyote vs. ACME on Tuesday. The film, which was shelved by Warner Bros. in late 2023, is now slated to hit theaters on August 28.
“The biggest cartoon court case ever! Coyote vs. ACME. In theaters August 28,” Cena posted on social media alongside the trailer.
About the Film
The 2D animated and live-action hybrid centers around Wile E. Coyote suing the Acme Corporation for the many traps that backfired in his relentless pursuit of the Road Runner. Will Forte portrays Coyote’s lawyer, Kevin Avery, while Cena plays Buddy Crane, a ruthless corporate attorney representing Acme Corporation.
The Looney Tunes project was primarily filmed in New Mexico in 2022. The film was allegedly shelved due to cost-cutting decisions by David Zaslav, CEO and President of Warner Bros. Discovery.
Last weekend, Cena hosted WWE WrestleMania 42, four months after his in-ring retirement.
