Velma is officially a lesbian in the new animated film Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!, finally confirming a well-known fact among fans and Scooby-Doo creatives, reports The Independent.
Following Amazon Prime Video’s release of the newest iteration of the iconic childhood franchise on Tuesday, a clip of Velma’s first encounter with her crush, villain Coco Diablo, has gone viral.
The recent verification of Velma’s sexuality isn’t too surprising for many as James Gunn, the writer of the early live-action movies, and Tony Cervone, former supervising producer on the Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated series, previously confirmed Velma’s sexual identity, but said they were never able to officially show it onscreen.
Gunn shared a tweet in 2020 saying that he had “tried” to make Velma a visible lesbian in the live-action movies, “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).”
