Onward premiers on March 6th and will include a character called Officer Specter, a policewoman who references her girlfriend in one of the scenes.

It should be noted that although it is not the first LGBTQ character that appears in a Disney film, it is the first to do so while openly identifying herself as part of the LGBTQ community. It also should be noted that she’s not a major character in the movie.

According to the movie’s producer Kori Rae, the inclusion of Officer Specter is a way to “open up the world a little bit” and to “represent the modern world.”

Speaking to Yahoo entertainment, Rae voiced his excitement over the performance of actor Lena Waithe, who voiced Officer Specter. Waithe is also openly gay. Rae said he would love to see “an Officer Specter spinoff.”

Dan Scanlon, the movie’s director, also voiced his excitement about the scene, saying it is important, because it’s representative of modern society.

This is not the first reboot of the beloved film. A half-hour pilot produced by Touchstone TV and starring Thomas F. Wilson (with the same dog, Beasley) was aired under ABC’s Wonderful World of Disney banner; it did not continue to a full series.

Peck’s previous credits include Nickelodon’s The Amanda Show and Drake & Josh alongside Drake Bell. He also teamed up with John Stamos in Grandfathered, lent his voice in the Ice Age franchise and appeared in Netflix’s indie comedy Take the 10.
