Ryan Reynolds fans will have to wait a little longer to meet Warner Bros Pictures and Legendary Entertainment’s “Animal Friends,” as the upcoming movie is getting pushed back to next year.
The project, which the Burbank, CA lot inherited from Sony, was moved from its scheduled October 10 theatrical release to May 1, 2026. It was previously dated for August 15 under Sony. When it moved to Warner Bros., the release date shifted to October 10.
Despite the move, there’s obvious box office potential at play: for starters, Reynolds most recently starred in Marvel’s “Deadpool & Wolverine,” which grossed $1.3 billion at the international box office, while Momoa’s “A Minecraft Movie” has grossed $948 million worldwide to date.
Directed by Peter Atencio and written by Kevin Burrows & Matt Mider, “Animal Friends” stars Reynolds, Jason Momoa, Aubrey Plaza, Addison Rae, Dan Levy, Lil Rel Howery, and Ellie Bamber in a “live-action hybrid road trip adventure.”
The film will be distributed by Warner Bros. and Legendary, and was produced by Legendary, Reynolds’ Maximum Effort, and Prime Focus Pictures.
