After the huge success of Peacemaker and the recent renewal of season two, John Cena is all set to expand his association with Warner Bros. Acccording to Deadline, Cena will star in a Looney Tunes live-action, animated hybrid film Coyote vs. Acme.
The film will be directed by Dave Green, screenplay by Samy Burch. The story is set in the popular Looney Tunes universe, and it is based on The New Yorker humor article Coyote vs. Acme by Ian Frazier.
Here’s the official synopsis:
Wile E. Coyote, who after ACME products fail him one too many times in his dogged pursuit of the Roadrunner, decides to hire a billboard lawyer to sue the ACME Corporation. The case pits Wile E. and his lawyer against the latter’s intimidating former boss (Cena), but a growing friendship between man and cartoon stokes their determination to win.
Cena will play the lawyer’s former boss, who defends ACME in the case. The film is set to start the production in New Mexico in late March.
Coyote vs. Acme will be the fourth movie in the franchise to take this approach with Looney Tunes: Back in Action, Space Jam, and its sequel Space Jam: A New Legacy which had been a great success in the past.
