After years of being blown up, flattened, dropped off cliffs, and emotionally destroyed by a smug bird, Wile E. Coyote is finally doing the unthinkable: he’s calling a lawyer.

The first trailer for Coyote vs. Acme is here, and yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like: a courtroom comedy where the desert’s most determined failure sues the company that’s been selling him death traps disguised as gadgets for decades.

The premise comes straight from a hilarious The New Yorker piece imagining what would happen if Wile E. Coyote finally sued ACME for all those… minor product malfunctions.

Opening Statement of Mr. Harold Schoff, attorney for Mr. Coyote: My client, Mr. Wile E. Coyote, a resident of Arizona and contiguous states, does hereby bring suit for damages against the Acme Company, manufacturer and retail distributor of assorted merchandise, incorporated in Delaware and doing business in every state, district, and territory. Mr. Coyote seeks compensation for personal injuries, loss of business income, and mental suffering caused as a direct result of the actions and/or gross negligence of said company, under Title 15 of the United States Code, Chapter 47, section 2072, subsection (a), relating to product liability.

Honestly, the craziest part isn’t the concept, it’s that this almost never saw the light of day. Back in 2023, Warner Bros. shelved it for a tax write-off, which led to a collective “are you serious right now?” from pretty much everyone. Fast-forward through a year of behind-the-scenes drama, and now it’s actually hitting theaters on August 28, 2026. That’s a comeback story even the Coyote would respect.

Now the only question left:

Will justice finally catch up… or will it run past holding a tiny “beep beep” sign? Watch the trailer below!
