At San Diego Comic-Con, director Dave Green confirmed that the highly anticipated film Coyote vs. Acme is indeed coming to Blu-ray, complete with hilarious outtakes that he described as ‘not PG-rated.’ The film, which stars Lana Condor, Will Forte, and John Cena, has been making waves in the entertainment industry with its unique blend of action, comedy, and Looney Tunes charm.
Green’s confirmation comes as a welcome surprise to fans of the film, who have been eagerly awaiting the release of Coyote vs. Acme. The movie, which was initially shelved by Warner Bros. Discovery in 2023 for a $30 billion tax write-off, is now set to hit theaters on August 28, 2026.
When asked about the outtakes that will be included on the Blu-ray release, Green couldn’t contain his enthusiasm. ‘John is an amazing improviser,’ he said. ‘The camera would keep rolling and he would just love to entertain a room of background actors and make everyone laugh. When you don’t call ‘cut,’ there is minutes and minutes of stuff that is not PG-Rated.’
Green’s comments were met with laughter and applause from the audience, and it’s clear that the outtakes will be a major draw for fans of the film. ‘Maybe for the Blu-ray,’ IGN host Tom Jorgensen replied, ‘Fingers crossed!’ Green answered with a smile, ‘I can actually make you that promise. It’ll be on there.’
A New Era for Physical Media
While some fans may be disappointed by the lack of physical releases for certain games and movies, Coyote vs. Acme’s Blu-ray release is a welcome development in an era where physical media is gradually being phased out in favor of digital downloads. In fact, Sony’s decision to stop printing physical game discs starting January 2028 has left the gaming community in disarray, scrambling to get their hands on PlayStation’s final physical releases before the cutoff date.
However, not all physical releases are created equal. While some big releases are confirmed for a full physical release, others, like the highly anticipated GTA 6, will have a digital download only. But for fans of Coyote vs. Acme, the news that the film will be available on Blu-ray is a major win.
