# Animal Friends Delay: Ryan Reynolds and Jason Momoa's Wild Road Trip Comedy Pushed to Early 2027 – Fans, Are You Still In? **Imagine a sassy pony voiced by Ryan Reynolds and a gruff bear by Jason Momoa dodging DEA agents on a hilarious cross-country chase** – but now, you'll have to wait even longer for this R-rated animated adventure.[1][2] Animal Friends, the live-action/animation hybrid directed by Peter Atencio, has faced yet another release date shift. Originally slated for October 2025, then bumped to May 2026, and briefly to June 2026, it's now targeting early 2027 – with reports pointing to January 22 or June 4, 2027, depending on the source.[1][2][3][4] Filmed back in 2023 in Bulgaria, this road-trip comedy follows fugitive animals Pony (Reynolds) and Bear (Momoa) as they mend their fractured friendship while evading an odd-couple pursuit: DEA agent Billie (Aubrey Plaza) and a Fish & Wildlife ranger (Dan Levy).[1][2] The star-studded cast also includes Vince Vaughn, Addison Rae, Eric André, and Lil Rel Howery voicing a bird, promising crude humor, bloody antics, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit-style visuals.[1][4] Why the endless delays? Despite being shot over three years ago and wrapping post-production by late 2024, Warner Bros. (initially Columbia Pictures) seems to be holding back on marketing, sparking fan frustration online.[2][3] With no trailer yet and competition from films like Masters of the Universe, the wait builds massive hype – or tests patience.[4] This R-rated gem blends Reynolds' Deadpool snark with Momoa's Aquaman charisma, making it a must-watch for comedy lovers craving something fresh and furry.
