Warner Bros. is revving up plans for a Speedy Gonzales solo movie, with filmmaker Jorge R. Gutiérrez at the helm.
Gutiérrez, known for his work on The Book of Life and El Tigre, has been attached to the project since December, but no writer or plot details have been officially announced. However, he recently expressed his excitement about bringing Speedy to life, hinting that a new film will be "the Mexican Hat Dance" - a nod to the character's iconic dance move.
Speedy Gonzales, created by Robert McKimson and Fritz Freling, made his debut in 1955 with his titular short. The fast-talking mouse has become a beloved character among Latin American fans, who appreciate his ability to outsmart Sylvester and Daffy Duck. In recent years, Speedy has appeared in various forms of media, including video games, commercials, and the 2021 film Space Jam: A New Legacy.
Warner Bros.' efforts to bring Speedy to the big screen date back to 2010, when George Lopez was initially attached to voice the character. However, plans were repeatedly derailed, with Mexican actor Eugenio Derbez expressing concerns that the studio might be hesitant to offend Hispanic audiences due to Speedy's popularity in Latin America.
With Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, and Wile E. Coyote having paved the way for other Looney Tunes characters, it seems Speedy Gonzales is finally ready to take center stage. As news emerges about the film, fans can expect more information about the plot and production.

those were the days! speedy's so iconic now but back then he was just another cartoon character. it's crazy to think that george lopez was attached to voice him way back in 2010 and nothing ever panned out... i guess the mexican government didn't care about the backlash though lol anyway, hopefully this solo movie does justice to speedy's legend 
And can you imagine Speedy's dance moves coming to life on the big screen? It's gonna be like a fiesta up in here 
! I'm also curious to see how they're gonna balance the character's fun, zany personality with something more substantial. Maybe it's time for Speedy to have his own origin story or something 
? Either way, I'm all for it - can't wait to see this movie hit theaters!
It's like they're trying to cash in on nostalgia or something. I mean, what's the point of making a solo Speedy Gonzales movie if it's just going to be more of the same old formula? Can't they think outside the box for once? And why do they need to bring in Jorge R. Gutiérrez, he's already had success with The Book of Life and El Tigre, what does this project even have to offer? 
it's high time 4 him 2 b the star of his own flick & not jus b a sidekick 2 daffy duck or porky pig. let's hope dey dont botch it! 
Jorge R. Gutiérrez at the helm is a great choice, given his experience with The Book of Life and El Tigre - it's gonna be an epic film! 
I've always been a fan of Speedy's sassy attitude and those iconic dance moves, especially the Mexican Hat Dance 
️
. It's about time Warner Bros brings him to the big screen in his own solo movie, let's see more details on the plot & production soon! Fingers crossed it'll be a box office hit! 
. Like, they're already having issues with Mexican audiences because Speedy's too popular in Latin America? Come on, Warner Bros., figure it out. And what's with Jorge R. Gutiérrez directing it? I mean, he's got some experience, but is he really the right guy to bring Speedy to life? I'm not buying it 
. Mark my words...
But you know what's even more lit? The fact that this movie's been in the works for over a decade already? It makes me think about perseverance and staying power... like Speedy himself! 
Can't wait to see what he does with Speedy...
i've been waiting for this day since forever 
gotta get it right tho 
and other involved artists but speedy deserves the spotlight 
can't wait to see jorge r. gutierrez's take on the character 
new film = mexican hat dance 
what do u think? 
i'm so hyped that they're finally bringing him to life on the big screen 
i love his dance moves lol what do u think about a speedy solo movie tho? would it b good 2 c him as the main characeter? 
! But let's not get too caught up in the hype, fam... I've been digging around online, and I found some weird connections between Warner Bros. and the Mexican government
