Pepe Le Pew won’t be suiting up for Space Jam: A New Legacy according to a new report from Deadline. This all started with some increased attention to the character from a New York Times op-ed. Well, it seems as though the skunk won’t be in the movie anyway. (It seems like that decision had been made long ago, before this recent dust-up even occurred.) Greece Santo from Jane the Virgin was supposed to have a short interaction during the planning stages, but nothing was even animated. Terrence Nance was the first director for the project, but Malcolm Lee thought better of deploying that scene. Things with these large-scale projects get left on the cutting room floor all the time. But, of course, this is drawing some attention after that social media hurricane this week.
