Looney Tunes courtroom comeback.
Delayed Coyote vs. ACME Debuts Avengers Parody Teaser Ahead of August Release
Anonymous
Ketchup Entertainment is ramping up marketing for the long-delayed hybrid Looney Tunes comedy Coyote vs. ACME with new promo/trailer material that parodies Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday teaser style, including a cheeky promise that Bugs Bunny will return. The clips feature Bugs Bunny in a Deep Throat-like role, offering key information as Wile E. Coyote teams with billboard accident lawyer Kevin Avery (Will Forte) to take legal action against ACME. John Cena plays Buddy Crane, described as Avery’s intimidating former law firm boss and ACME’s corporate counsel, while the film leans into meta humor through a shadowy informant meeting and playful teaser-card gags. The movie centers on Coyote’s decades of escalating sabotage and ACME product failures, culminating in a lawsuit framed as both courtroom comedy and character-powered chaos. Its release also comes after a rocky studio path: the project was pulled from Warner Bros. Discovery’s schedule and written off as a tax loss in 2023, drew public backlash, and was later revived when Ketchup Entertainment acquired it and partnered for distribution. Coyote vs. ACME is set to reach theaters in late August, with the latest promos continuing to build buzz ahead of the premiere.
Key Points
1
The teaser promo is set to music from Mozart’s “Requiem,” adding an operatic, conspiratorial tone to the “All the President’s Men” style “Deep Throat” parody starring Bugs Bunny.
2
Beyond the trailer gag itself, Ketchup Entertainment debuted the teaser on Tax Day and said the first full trailer would arrive the following week.
3
Bugs Bunny’s role comes with additional production detail: Eric Bauza voices nine characters in the film, with Bugs serving as a Deep Throat-type informant for Will Forte’s lawyer character.
4
The movie’s release date is specified as August 28 in one report, and it also notes the project’s original development/release timeline—began in 2018 and was first scheduled for theatrical release in 2023—before the Warner Bros. Discovery cancellation and write-off.
