The original is the good guy and since he played a major role in the series, it's very likely he'll at least be mentioned. TheAtomicLight wrote:

If they had been faithful it just would not have been made, because the humour in the series itself just did not catch on, so they're not going to do it for a whole movie. Exactly my point... even though this is based on the old cartoon show, it is not EXACTLY like the old cartoon show.

And inspite of the gang's postive history with Scrappy, creative teams and general audiences just see Scrappy as the worst thing in the franchise, regardless of what or which show or incarnation he is from. Hence why we don't only never see him again, let alone in a good way in ANYTHING after the live action movie. Remember when Scrappy was butted out in a picture for CN's 20th anniversary?

And while FlimFlam and Vincent Van Ghoul have been seen in Mystery Incorperated, they were still treated with some level of acknowledgment despite being from the "low era" of the franchise, Scrappy, who was in more shows and movies, was acknowledge as an unplesantry to never be talked about. Which is why I am afraid that in this movie, he is either going to be either a villain, a throw-away joke, or might not even be in the picture at all.

Because since this ISN'T like the old show, they don't have to give Scrappy the same level of respect or likeablity he had in it... And  the only thing that broke his bad history was in Supernatural last year... where he was just a Easter Egg for the multidoor chase scene, where he was just a quick second prop.

So the idea of him just having some dignity and respect as an actual character in a movie seems like a too big of a jump for creators to make for him just yet. Afterall, it seems like when people think of Scrappy Doo in general... they seem to think about him as he was in the live action movie... which they put him in the ride in an Austilia amusmenet park last month...

I hope and WANT the best for Scrappy in this movie; but with how he has been handled with everything in the last decade and a half, the idea of him make a full dignifed comeback right now seems a like a far off bet, even with a movie based on a show he was star in.

Do we even know who on the production of this movie? Any idea of their feelings towards Scrappy?
