Coyote vs. Acme Resurrected: The First Trailer is Finally Here

April 23, 2026·1 min read

Wile E. Coyote is finally heading to court. After being unceremoniously shelved by Warner Bros. Discovery as a $70 million tax write-off in 2023, the hybrid live-action/animation feature *Coyote vs. Acme* has been rescued by Ketchup Entertainment. The newly released trailer confirms a global theatrical release for August 28, 2026, marking a rare victory for film preservation in an era of corporate downsizing. Directed by Dave Green and starring Will Forte alongside John Cena, the film leans into a meta-legal premise: the titular coyote sues the ACME Corporation for its consistently defective products. Beyond the slapstick, the film’s survival represents a significant pushback against the 'vaulting' trend that has plagued the industry, proving that audience demand and creative integrity can still occasionally override a balance sheet. Expect a sharp, satirical take on the Looney Tunes legacy that feels more in line with *Who Framed Roger Rabbit* than modern studio reboots.
