The first official trailer for Coyote vs Acme has finally dropped, and it promises a wildly inventive blend of animation and live-action comedy. Backed by Ketchup Entertainment and Warner Bros Animation, the film reimagines one of the most iconic cartoon rivalries in a completely unexpected way—by taking it to court.
At the center of the story is the ever-unlucky Wile E. Coyote, who finally reaches his breaking point after countless failed attempts to catch the Road Runner. After years of Acme gadgets exploding, malfunctioning, or outright betraying him, the determined coyote decides to sue the Acme Corporation. It is a hilariously absurd premise that flips the classic chase dynamic into a legal battle filled with chaos and clever humor.
Stepping into the human world, Will Forte plays Kevin Avery, a struggling billboard lawyer who takes on Coyote’s case. As their unlikely friendship develops, the duo sets out to challenge a powerful corporation. Standing in their way is the formidable Buddy Crane, played by John Cena, who represents Acme and brings intensity to the courtroom showdown.
The film doesn’t stop at just one iconic character. Fans can expect appearances from beloved Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety, and Foghorn Leghorn, among others. This ensemble of classic characters adds layers of nostalgia while blending seamlessly with the film’s modern comedic tone.
Directed by Dave Green, known for Earth to Echo and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Out of the Shadows, the movie combines slapstick humor with a meta narrative. The screenplay, penned by Samy Burch, builds on a story developed alongside James Gunn and Jeremy Slater, drawing inspiration from a clever magazine article that originally imagined this bizarre lawsuit.
Set for a theatrical release on August 28, 2026, Coyote vs Acme looks like a refreshing twist on classic animation storytelling. With its mix of nostalgia, humor, and an offbeat legal drama angle, the film could deliver one of the most unique cinematic experiences of the year.
