AceShowbiz – Movie bosses blocked “Scooby-Doo” screenwriter James Gunn’s plans to bring beloved fictional sleuth Velma out of the closet.
The filmmaker made the big reveal during a recent Twitter chat with fans, explaining he wanted Linda Cardellini’s character to be a lesbian in the 2002 film, but Warner Bros. executives didn’t like the idea.
James Gunn reacted to fan’s request to make Velma a lesbian.
“In 2001 Velma was explicitly gay in my initial script. But the studio kept watering it down & watering it down, becoming ambiguous ( the version shot), then nothing (the released version) & finally having a boyfriend (the sequel).”
