Warner Bros. is again shifting the release date of its live-action hybrid movie Animal Friends.
The road trip adventure feature is now set to hit theaters Jan. 22, 2027, after previously having been scheduled for May 1, 2026. Prior to that, the film had been slated for release on Oct. 10, 2025. Peter Atencio directs the film from a script by Kevin Burrows and Matt Mider.
Ryan Reynolds, Jason Momoa, Aubrey Plaza, Addison Rae, Dan Levy, Lil Rel Howery and Ellie Bamber round out the cast. The project hails from Legendary, Maximum Effort and Prime Focus Studios.
Animal Friends was originally set up at Sony Pictures and shifted to Warner Bros. in 2024 through the studio’s deal with Legendary.
Atencio previously directed the comedy features Keanu (2016) and The Machine (2023), and worked on the Apple TV+ series The Afterparty.
Reynolds led 2024’s Deadpool & Wolverine, which was the second-highest-grossing title at the global box office that year. He stars in directors Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley’s Apple TV movie Mayday that begins streaming in September and also stars Kenneth Branagh and Maria Bakalova.
