The long-awaited film Coyote vs. Acme is set for release in theaters on August 28, 2026, much to the excitement of fans. Will Forte announced this great news during a panel at Comic-Con 2025.
The film features Eric Bauza, who voices nine characters, including Bugs Bunny. In a fun twist, Bugs serves as an informant for Will Forte’s lawyer character. Other animated cameos include Miss Prissy and a sheep on the jury, along with playful scenes like Playboy Penguin making ice sculptures.
Coyote vs. Acme stars popular names like John Cena and Lana Condor. It’s about the iconic Wile E. Coyote taking legal action against Acme due to their many faulty products. Initially planned for HBO Max, the film finished filming in 2022. However, it faced delays when Warner Bros. shifted its focus toward theatrical releases in 2023.
The film’s shelving led to a push from fans and filmmakers who wanted it to be released, highlighting the effort and dedication behind the project. In March, Ketchup Entertainment signed a deal with Warner Bros. Pictures to bring it to theaters, unveiling hope for its fans.
An IGN investigation last year shared insights from a voice actor who campaigned for the film’s revival. The collective enthusiasm and support from fans show the strong connection people have with these characters and stories.
With the buzz around Coyote vs. Acme, it’s clear this film has created a ripple effect, engaging audiences who are eager to see how this unique legal battle unfolds on the big screen.
