Luca director Enrico Casarosa has said that he discussed the two main characters having a romantic relationship in the animated adventure.
Released in June, the Disney/Pixar film focuses on the friendship between two young boys, Luca and Alberto, in Italy.
However, speaking to The Wrap, the director said that the creative team had “talked about” a potential romance between the characters featuring in the film.
Casarosa explained that when they made Luca, the team were thinking more about how the boys felt like “outsiders” because of race than sexuality.
