Coyote vs. ACME Trailer with Will Forte and John Cena
Ketchup Entertainment has released the official trailer for the live-action/animated hybrid film Coyote vs. ACME, opening in theaters on August 28, 2026. The film has not yet been rated by the Motion Picture Association (MPA).
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 also stars Lana Condor and Tone Bell.
Directed by Dave Green (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, Earth to Echo), the film was written by Samy Burch from a story by James Gunn (Superman), Jeremy Slater, and Burch. Chris DeFaria and James Gunn are the producers.
When Ketchup Entertainment acquired the film, CEO Gareth West said, “We’re thrilled to have made a deal with Warner Bros. Pictures to bring this film to audiences worldwide. Coyote vs. Acme is a perfect blend of nostalgia and modern storytelling, capturing the essence of the beloved Looney Tunes characters while introducing them to a new generation. We believe it will resonate with both longtime fans and newcomers alike.”
Ketchup previously released The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie in March 2025. The animated sci-fi comedy went on to earn $15.5 million at the global box office.
Ketchup released the following video yesterday as well. In the video, star Will Forte announced that the trailer would be released today and gave a little insight into the ACME conspiracy.
