Giulia is the secondary antagonist of the early versions of the 2011 Disney•Pixar animated film Cars 2. She initially appears to be Mater's best friend, until it was revealed that she is a spy serving the Lemon Kingpin Zil.
Her role was later rewritten and replaced by Holley Shiftwell.
Production[]
In one of the earlier incarnations of Cars 2, Pixar had a character named Giulia who was basically a double agent; she connected with Mater, and the two of them later went off and had their own adventures and met up again with the other characters at the end. Secretly, she was working for Zil and was a double agent.
Biography[]
Not much is known about her, but it has been revealed that early during the development of Cars 2, Giulia was conceived as the secondary antagonist of the film, being apart of the Lemons, she is responsible for multiple character deaths, such as Leland being crushed and Rod being beaten to death. From what can be seen in concept art, She is modeled as an Alfa Romeo-like car, resembling an Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider.
Giulia seems to be sad when her and Zil are preparing to dunk Mater in molten lava, hinting that she is remorseful for her crimes and selling Mater out. Considering this scene wasn't filmed as Pixar scrapped this version of the story, this was never confirmed.
It's unknown how her relationship with Zil and the other lemons are. As one piece of concept art shows her, with Zil and Tomber appearing happy at the Junkyard. Then again, all the possible information to find on this version of the film are pretty ambiguous in confirming the information.
Physical description[]
