John Cena breaks his silence for the first time regarding Warner Bros Discovery shelving his Coyote vs. Acme movie.
WWE Superstar John Cena recently spoke with TheWrap on the red carpet of his new movie, Jackpot. When asked about the decision to shelve his live-action Looney Tunes movie Coyote vs. Acme, Cena said he thought they made a good movie, but understands he doesn’t own the film.
“There’s a lot there. And everyone’s perspective is different. We don’t own the film,” John Cena said. “That’s the tough part about this business, you do have a sense of ownership because you invest heart and soul. And [director] Dave Green and everybody involved, we made what we thought was a good movie.”
Cena would go on to state while he wishes the movie was given a chance, he has to believe it was shelved for the right reasons.
“I would have liked to seen it given a chance. But I’m just one person,” John Cena continued. “And if it was shelved, I would have to think that it was shelved for the right reasons and it was a good business decision.
“I think I would have tremendous regret and shame if I look back on the legacy of the movie and it was shelved for reasons other than that. So I have to believe in the process. And I love the movie. My heart and soul is in there, but it’s somebody else’s project to do what they want with and they’ve chosen accordingly.”
