Officially on display screen, it’s her time!

Director James Gunn, author of the live-action Scooby-Doo movies, has mentioned he deliberate to make his take on Velma (played by Linda Cardellini) a lesbian. In a now-deleted tweet, Gunn disclosed that he tried to maintain that within the script. “In 2001 Velma was explicitly gay in my initial script. But the studio just kept watering it down & watering it down, becoming ambiguous (the version shot), then nothing (the released version) & finally having a boyfriend (the sequel),” he wrote.
