“With the relaunch of Warner Bros. Pictures Animation in June, the studio has shifted its global strategy to focus on theatrical releases,” a WB Motion Picture Group spokesperson said in a statement. “With this new direction, we have made the difficult decision not to move forward with it Coyote vs. Acme. We have great respect for the filmmakers, actors and crew, and are grateful for their contributions to the film.“
The live-action/animated hybrid finished shooting last year and reportedly scored well at test screenings. The film stars Will Forte as a down-on-his-luck lawyer who takes on Wile E. Coyote as a client in a suit against ACME Corporation over its defective products, only to get his – out that the previous one has his boss (John Cena). a law firm represents ACME, but the growing friendship between Wile E. and his lawyer only fuels their desire to win the case.

Director Dave Green took to X / Twitter comment on Warner Bros.’ decided to put his film in the cellar. “For three years, I was lucky enough to make a film about Wile E. Coyote, the most persistent, passionate and resilient character of all time,” he wrote. “I had a great team around me, who poured their souls into this project for years. We were all determined to honor the legacy of these historical characters and do them justice. On the way, the test audience gave us good prizes.
