Comic-Con update: First looks at ‘Coyote vs. Acme,’ and a new ‘Star Trek’ series

James Gunn received a standing ovation at Comic-Con for his work on "Superman," which has grossed over $200 million. His involvement in the DC universe began with "The Suicide Squad," which led to the "Peacemaker" series. Season 2 of "Peacemaker" was previewed, featuring John Cena and characters from "Superman." Ryan Gosling and directors presented scenes from "Project Hail Mary," highlighting an alien character named Rocky. "Coyote vs. Acme," a hybrid animation and live-action film, was showcased after a period of being shelved, now set for an August 2026 release. The panel emphasized the comedic failures of Acme products on Wile E. Coyote, with John Cena playing an Acme lawyer. The film adheres to animator Chuck Jones' rules for the Coyote-Roadrunner dynamic. Paramount previewed footage from the upcoming "Starfleet Academy" series, set to premiere in 2026. Updates were also provided for "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds," including an upcoming episode featuring puppets from Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
