Originally scheduled for a May 14, 2021, theatrical release, the Will Arnett-led film has now been pushed back to next year on February 18, 2022. This marks the fourth time that the project has been delayed since last year. The new date sees Rumble going up against another animated film, Apple TV+ and Skydance’s comedy movie titled Luck.
In a world where monster wrestling is a global sport and monsters are superstar athletes, teenage Winnie seeks to follow in her father’s footsteps by coaching a loveable underdog monster into a champion.
Rumble stars Will Arnett (The Lego Batman Movie), Terry Crews (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Geraldine Viswanathan (The Broken Hearts Gallery), Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i (Hobbs & Shaw), Tony Danza (Who’s the Boss?), Becky Lynch (Billions), Susan Kelechi Watson (A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood), Stephen A. Smith (I Think I Love My Wife), Jimmy Tatro (The Wolf of Snow Hollow), Ben Schwartz (Sonic the Hedgehog) and Michael Buffer (Dumbo).
