Final Coyote vs. Acme trailer drops at SDCC
Ars Technica highlights two trailers unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con: the final preview for Coyote vs. Acme and a full trailer for Zach Cregger’s new Resident Evil film. The Coyote film’s release is notable because Warner Bros. had shelved it for years as a tax write-off before Ketchup Entertainment acquired it for a theatrical release.
Coyote vs. Acme follows Wile E. Coyote as he sues ACME over its repeatedly disastrous products, with Will Forte as his lawyer and John Cena representing the company; it reaches cinemas on 28 August 2026. Sony’s Resident Evil stars Austin Abrams as a medical courier caught in a single night of escalating horror, and Cregger says it is an original story in the games’ universe rather than a direct adaptation; the franchise has earned more than $1.2 billion worldwide since 2002.
In short
- Coyote vs. Acme finally receives a cinema release after years shelved.
- Its final trailer features Wile E. Coyote suing ACME.
- Resident Evil returns with an original, game-universe horror story.
Explained simply
Coyote vs. Acme is a live-action comedy that transforms the classic cartoon premise into a legal drama. It centres on Wile E. Coyote suing the ACME corporation for its repeatedly faulty and dangerous products.
The film's path to release is remarkable because it spent years in limbo. Warner Bros. had shelved it as a tax write-off, but Ketchup Entertainment recently acquired the rights and arranged for a theatrical release, resurrecting what seemed to be a lost project.
The film features Will Forte as Coyote's lawyer and John Cena representing ACME. It arrives in cinemas on 28 August 2026.
