Ryan Reynolds' Animal Friends Pushed to 2026 as Blake Lively's Feud with Justin Baldoni Escalates
Ryan Reynolds ' film career is seemingly taking a hit as wife, Blake Lively 's rift with It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni deepens. According to an update from Deadline, Warner Bros. has pushed back the film Animal Friends' release. Earlier, slated to premiere on October 10, 2025, the animated road film will now see the light of day on May 1, 2026, instead. It is a collective effort from Legendary, Maximum Effort and Prime Focus Studios. About Animal Friends Written by Kevin Burrows and Matt Mider, Animal Friends also stars Jason Momoa, Aubrey Plaza, Addison Rae, Dan Levy, Lil Rel Howery and Ellie Bamber, alongside the Green Lantern lead. This is the second time the movie has changed its release date, with the initial plan for August 15, 2025, being scrapped to move to October 2025 and then to May 2026. That does not cover the changes undergone by the movie so far, however, as Sony Pictures originally helmed the film before Warner took it over due to a deal with Legendary. Why Animal Films could have been moved It is known that Animal Friends will be an R-rated film, however, further details remain under wraps. Moreover, it is not known why the production decided to move back further, however, it has now escaped a run-in with the likes of Jennifer Lopez' Kiss Of The Spider Woman and Channing Tatum's Roofman. It could prove to be a data-driven move which allows Animal Friends to not clash with other films and garner more eyeballs.

Ryan Reynolds' "Animal Friends" Delayed to 2026
Yara Sameh 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. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan
