Similar to other B-tier <em>Looney <\/em>characters like Marvin the Martian, Speedy\u2019s around a lot, and is pretty popular with the Latin American community for his ability to get one over on guys like Sylvester and Daffy.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s also been in a lot of outside\u00a0<em>Looney Tunes\u00a0<\/em>media like video games, Virgin Media and Volkswagon commercials, and 2021\u2019s\u00a0<em>Space Jam: A New Legacy<\/em>. Warner Bros. has actually been trying to make a Speedy project since 2010, where George Lopez would\u2019ve voiced him. Those plans repeatedly fell through, with Mexican actor Eugino Derbez (who was attached to voice Speedy in 2016) pinning it on a fear of offending Hispanic people despite the character\u2019s popularity with that demographic.<\/p>\n<p>But now that Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, and Wile E. Coyote have opened the doors, it\u2019s Speedy\u2019s time to shine. We\u2019ll have more on his solo movie as news emerges.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Want more io9 news?
