The hybrid animated/live-action feature Coyote vs. ACME has had a tumultuous past. Back in 2023, Warner Bros. scrapped the completed film as a tax write-off, but the movie then got a second chance via Ketchup Entertainment to make its way to theaters.
Today, we got our first trailer for the film, and in it we see Wile E. Coyote looking to take on capitalism/big ACME, represented by John Cena, with the help of a flesh-and-blood Will Forte serving as his lawyer.
The trailer also revealed the silhouette of Bugs Bunny in a trench coat, confirming that the rabbit will make an appearance in the film.
It’s exciting stuff! And Coyote vs. ACME’s official synopsis sheds more light on what we’ll see on screen:
After decades of being blown to bits by bombs, demolished by dynamite, mangled by magnets, battered by boulders, trampled by trains, tricked by tunnels, sprung by springs, steamrolled by steamrollers, maligned by misfires, bedeviled by bungees, rattled by rockets, backstabbed by bat suits, rocked by rocket skates, upended by unicycles, quaked by quake pills, rubberized by rogue bands, and hurled headlong off every cliff in the Southwest, Wile E. Coyote (Genius) finally fights back. Teaming up with billboard accident lawyer Kevin Avery (Will Forte), he takes on slick corporate counsel Buddy Crane (John Cena) and ACME, Inc., the profit-obsessed conglomerate behind every one of the Coyote’s chaotic catastrophes.
Coyote vs. ACME is directed by Dave Green (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows). The story comes from James Gunn & Jeremy Slater and Samy Burch, with Burch penning the actual script. In addition to Cena and Forte, it stars Lana Condor, Tone Bell, and the Road Runner.
The movie premieres in theaters on August 28, 2026. While we wait, check out the trailer below. [end-mark]
