As of but, there has not been a 3rd sequel introduced for the live-action Scooby-Doo motion pictures, with the unique threequel scrapped following its predecessor’s poor efficiency, although the franchise is increasing on account of latest animated movie Scoob! and the animated collection Velma.
Now, Prinze Jr. reveals to Individuals that he wouldn’t return to Scooby-Doo had been there to be one other movie.

Extra just lately, the flicks received consideration on account of information surrounding a minimize kiss between Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Daphne and Linda Cardellini’s Velma within the 2002 film. Had this second made the ultimate minimize of the movie, this could have confirmed Velma’s long-suspected queerness lengthy earlier than Velma or Trick or Deal with Scooby-Doo! did.
That being stated, the way forward for a possible Scooby-Doo 3 is uncertain. A sequel, which might’ve been written and directed by James Gunn after penning the primary two installments, has been proposed and shut down a number of occasions.
