In this movie, we follow the storyline of Wile E. Coyote, who has had enough of ACME products failing him repeatedly while he chases the Roadrunner.

The lawsuit places Wile E. and his lawyer against the lawyer’s formidable ex-boss, John Cena, but a budding friendship between them fuels their determination to come out victorious.

Wile E. Coyote vs Acme Company

(Original Text): Here is an excerpt from the New Yorker article which is a fictitious lawsuit filed by Wile E. Coyote against the Acme Company.
This passage comes from a New Yorker magazine article, featuring a hypothetical lawsuit brought forth by Wile E. Coyote against the ACME Corporation.

Mr. Coyote kindly asks the court to take into account the broader economic impacts and consider imposing punitive damages totaling $17 million. Furthermore, he requests compensation for actual losses such as missed meals, medical costs, and lost workdays amounting to $1 million; general damages for emotional distress and damage to reputation worth $20 million; and attorney fees of $750,000. In summary, the total damages sought are $38.75 million. By granting Mr. Coyote the full amount, this court will serve as a warning to the Defendant, its executives, shareholders, future entities, and assigns, using the language they understand, and reinforce the principle of equal protection under the law for all predators, regardless of species.

Coyote Vs. Acme gets released on July 21, 2023.

Recently also saw HBO Max renew Peacemaker for a Season 2.
