In the movie, Wile E.

Cena is the head of ACME.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It is rumored that the deal is worth around $50 million and the film will be released in theaters in 2026.<\/p>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1774669342741533\" data-ad-slot=\"1211148813\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a9Courtesy of Warner Bros.
