The Coyote vs. Acme cast is full of great actors and returning Looney Tunes icons. Based on the 1990 New Yorker article of the same name by Ian Frazier, Coyote vs. Acme is a unique, tongue-in-cheek spin on the old Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner cartoons. The cartoons usually see Wile E. Coyote attempting to use a product from the Acme Corporation to kill the Roadrunner, and the defining running gag of the series sees every single Acme product backfiring on Wile E. Coyote in a very painful way. In Coyote vs. Acme, he’s finally had enough and decides to sue the company.
There’s some impressive talent behind Coyote vs. Acme. Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn produced Coyote vs. Acme from a story he co-wrote with Jeremy Slater and Samy Burch, while Dave Green, the filmmaker behind Earth to Echo and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, directed. The producers have assembled an impressive cast including a former Saturday Night Live cast member and a wrestler-turned-DC star. The Coyote vs. Acme cast features both returning voice actors and exciting new additions to the Looney Tunes universe.
