Warner Bros., or, more specifically, James Gunn (Peacemaker), wants to give Wile E. Coyote some love by letting him star in his own feature film.
"Coyote vs. ACME", due next year, has the lonesome loser going to court against ACME, which supplied him with so many devices that never worked for him against the Road Runner. Gunn will co-produce the live-action/CGI feature, set to hit theatres in the summer of 2023.
Peacemaker star John Cena will appear as ACME's current boss, as if the dude wasn't busy enough already, since Peacemaker has been renewed for a 2nd season, to be directed entirely by Gunn.
Rather than kick the Coyote when he's down and play "Lonesome Loser", this classic compilation reel will do.
I'm willing to guess the Road Runner will show up, too, because, aside from a series of shorts with Bugs Bunny, the Coyote doesn't function without his nemesis.

I'm guessing that some other Looney Tunes will make cameo appearances throughout the film. Wile E. Coyote is entertaining, but I don't think that he's strong enough a presence to carry an entire an entire film on his own. This premise sounds like it would work better as a short than a feature length film.
I'm inclined to agree, but I've also read this has been in developmental hell for over a decade. Apparently, someone offered it to James Gunn (who won't direct), and, well.....!
By the time this does come out, I think WB will retrench and move this to HBO Max.
