Velma is now an out lesbian.
Velma eventually publicly displays her interest to costume designer Coco Diablo in the new 'Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!' film, validating years of Scooby fan assumptions.
via Variety:
“OMG LESBIAN VELMA FINALLY,” reads one tweet, which has over 100,000 likes.
Velma's homosexuality has long been known among fans and "Scooby-Doo" creators.
Even James Gunn, who scripted the early live-action films, and Tony Cervone, who acted as supervising producer for the "Mystery Incorporated" series, verified the character's sexuality, although it was never made public onscreen.
In 2020, Gunn tweeted that he “tried” to make Velma a lesbian in the live-action movies. “In 2001 Velma was explicitly gay in my initial script,” he wrote. “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).”
During the 2020 Pride Month, Cervone wrote on Instagram, “I’ve said this before, but Velma in ‘Mystery Incorporated’ is not bi. She’s gay. We always planned on Velma acting a little off and out of character when she was dating Shaggy because that relationship was wrong for her and she had unspoken difficulty with the why. There are hints about the why in that episode with the mermaid, and if you follow the entire Marcie arc it seems as clear as we could make it 10 years ago. I don’t think Marcie and Velma had time to act on their feelings during the main timeline, but post reset, they are a couple. You can not like it, but this was our intention.”
