Linda Cardellini “Would Never Rule Out” a Cameo in ‘Scooby-Doo: Origins’

Linda Caredllini could not have captured the character of Velma better than she did in the 2002 live-action Scooby-Doo film. She was perfect. And while she may not be reprising that role in Netflix’s upcoming Scooby-Doo: Origins series, she hasn’t ruled out appearing in some fashion.

During a sit down with Deadline, the actress was asked about a cameo on the show. “Oh, I would never rule that out. I loved that cartoon growing up more than anything and the idea that I got to be in the movie was so shocking to me – and that kids who grew up with it talk about it to me, to this day.“

Added Cardellini, “I’m so excited for Abby [Ryder Fortson] and the rest of that cast because they are going to really be part of something that is television history. I’m very excited for them and I’ll be there in support of it in any way I can.”

With how much myself and others loved Cardellini as Velma, it would be a welcome surprise to see her show up in Scooby-Doo: Origins. We’ll have to wait and see. And who knows…maybe we’ll see some other familiar faces, as well (how fun would an appearance by Matthew Lillard be?).

Next up, we’ll soon see Cardellini take on an iconic role as Pamela Voorhees in the Friday the 13th prequel series, “Crystal Lake”.

In Scooby-Doo: Origins, “During their final summer at camp, old friends Shaggy and Daphne get embroiled in a haunting mystery surrounding a lonely lost Great Dane puppy that may have been a witness to a supernatural murder. Together with the pragmatic and scientific townie, Velma, and the strange, but ever so handsome new kid, Freddy, they set out to solve the case that is pulling each of them into a creepy nightmare that threatens to expose all of their secrets.”
