First trailer released for John Cena’s ‘Coyote vs. ACME’ movie
John Cena confirmed the official trailer and release date for Coyote vs. ACME. The film was primarily filmed in New Mexico in 2022 but was shelved by Warner Bros. in late 2023.
Cena tweeted that the movie is slated for release on August 28, and shared the trailer.
“The biggest cartoon court case ever! Coyote vs. ACME. In theaters August 28,” posted Cena.
The 2D animated cum live-action film is centered 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 is Buddy Crane, a ruthless corporate attorney representing Acme Corporation.
The Looney Tunes project 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.
