Bubo Marquez is a deleted character from the 2021 Disney animated feature film Encanto. He was originally Isabela Madrigal's love interest, before being replaced by Mariano Guzmán.
The directors said they removed him because they felt he was too cliched and unlikable. Many people even commented that he is the continuation of the ‘hot girl, dorky guy’ trope which some are considering a toxic, unrealistic message that has been peddled to audiences for decades.

He was seen in the Isabela Goes Into The Woods scene.
