In what seemed like an impossibility a couple of years ago, John Cena‘s Coyote vs. Acme film has secured a theatrical release date.

This weekend, during San Diego Comic Con, it was announced that Coyote vs. Acme will hit theaters on August 28, 2026.

While the film was initially shelved as a tax write-off by Warner Bros. Discovery in 2023, the film was acquired by Ketchup Entertainment earlier this year. The company is no stranger to the Looney Tunes brand, releasing The Day the Earth Blew Up earlier this year.

John Cena wanted to see this movie given a chance to succeed

John Cena spoke to The Wrap last year regarding WBD’s initial decision to shelve the finished project.

“There’s a lot there. And everyone’s perspective is different. We don’t own the film,” John Cena said. “That’s the tough part about this business, you do have a sense of ownership because you invest heart and soul. And [director] Dave Green and everybody involved, we made what we thought was a good movie.

“I would have liked to seen it given a chance. But I’m just one person. And if it was shelved, I would have to think that it was shelved for the right reasons and it was a good business decision.

“I think I would have tremendous regret and shame if I look back on the legacy of the movie and it was shelved for reasons other than that. So I have to believe in the process. And I love the movie. My heart and soul is in there, but it’s somebody else’s project to do what they want with and they’ve chosen accordingly.”
