Is hope on the horizon for the now-unreleased Coyote vs Acme movie? Studio executive James Gunn might have just given the signal of something to come.

One of the most popular entertainment topics on social media in the last few days has been the unexpected shelving of the upcoming Coyote vs Acme movie.

Starring John Cena and Lana Condor in its voice cast, the $70 million project was supposed to get a $30 million tax write-off until legions of unhappy fans meant the film was back on the table to be shopped around.

With Warner Bros. falling deeper into disarray, has James Gunn signaled new hope for the Coyote vs Acme movie?

The reaction, which was merely a heart emoji, has sparked “cryptic” concerns and thoughts from fans who are waiting to see what happens next.

“Obstacles become opportunities,” one Instagram user posted in response to Gunn’s message. “Please, James, save the Coyote movie,” said another.

“He’s cooking something up…” a third mused.

However, judging by Gunn’s immediate Instagram history, he has other things on his mind – such as the release of Superman Legacy.

“Thanks to the efforts of our talented crew, who never lost faith during the longest strikes in Hollywood history, and who never let their foot off of the padel, continuing to barrel forward, creating the most amazing character and set designs I’ve seen in my entire career,” Gunn stated two days before the Coyote vs Acme announcement.

“Superman Legacy will be making the originally planned release date of July 11, 2025.”

But what will happen next to the Coyote vs Acme unreleased movie? Only time will tell.

“Such an iconic IP, can’t wait to see how this all unfolds,” one fan posted on X/Twitter. “This was everyone’s childhood. He must be happy that the movie’s getting all kinds of hype and support,” another added.

“It’s going to be competitive. A lot of companies have interest in it,” a third weighed in.
