The release date for the live-action hybrid road trip adventure 'Animal Friends,' featuring stars Ryan Reynolds and Jason Momoa, has been rescheduled. The film, directed by Peter Atencio, is now set to premiere on January 22, 2027. This new date follows previous schedules of May 1, 2026, and October 10, 2025.
