Warner Bros. Discovery has reversed its decision on 'Coyote vs. Acme', deciding not to shelve the film. The studio will now allow director Dave Green to shop his live-action/animation hybrid movie starring John Cena to other potential buyers instead of shelving the project for a tax write off. The move comes days after the The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that 'Coyote vs. Acme' would become Warners third already-shot film to get shelved after previously nixing nearly completed projects 'Batgirl' and 'Scoob! Holiday Haunt' in August 2022.
