Final Trailer
《Coyote vs. Acme》 is a live-action/animation hybrid comedy about Wile E. Coyote suing Acme Corporation for selling products that repeatedly malfunction. Kevin Avery, a struggling lawyer, takes on Coyote’s case, while his former boss appears as Acme’s representative.
The final trailer maintains Coyote’s signature colossal failures and slapstick while more clearly showing Kevin and Coyote gradually coming to understand each other. It also expands the scenes in which animated characters blend naturally into live-action settings, along with the comedy unfolding at Acme’s board meetings and in court.
Dave Green directs, with Samy Burch writing the screenplay inspired by Ian Frazier’s 1990 article in 《The New Yorker》. Will Forte plays Kevin, John Cena plays Acme’s representative, and Lana Condor, Tone Bell, and Eric Bauza also star.
After its release was once canceled following completion, the film was acquired by Ketchup Entertainment and will arrive in theaters on August 28, 2026. The post expands beyond a simple one-line introduction to the lawsuit, adding the character relationships emphasized by the final trailer and the story of how the film came to be released.
