One aspect of Space Jam: A New Legacy that’s sure to excite moviegoers is the fact that the film allows them to once again see the Looney Tunes on the big screen. The lovable characters haven’t headlined a film since 2003’s Looney Tunes: Back in Action. So of course, this film brings back a number of fan-favorite characters, including the small but mighty Speedy Gonzales, voiced by the one and only Gabriel Iglesias. The character has, however, drawn mixed responses over the years, with some believing he perpetuates stereotypes. But this actually wasn’t something that worried Iglesias as he prepared to step into the shoes (or paws?) of the incredibly quick toon.
