I'm thinking just cutting him out entirely is probably the way to go; I'm not sure a sequel to freakin' Space Jam is the best place to have a conversation about sexual harassment/assault. (Also seems to sound like the Casablanca scene got cut, but, like, oh no.)
However, it does sound like at least some of the characters besides Daffy and Bugs will get some kind of introduction, and if they are searching for Lola, sounds like she may be fairly important to the story. (Also, that Penelope might actually have more to do than replace Barnyard Dawg on the bench.)
I wonder if Speedy's really completely cut, too. I think the argument has been made that he's heroic enough himself that most actual Mexicans and/or Mexican Americans like him, even if he is a bit stereotypical. His shorts and the other Mexican mice, however, not so much.
