Warning: There are spoilers ahead for "Incredibles 2."
"Incredibles 2" introduces fans to Screenslaver, a villain who wants to make sure superheroes like the Incredibles and Frozone stay banned forever.
The reveal of the villain's identity may have surprised you. But in early iterations of the movie, the person behind Screenslaver looked a lot different.
This is your last chance to head back before spoilers.
"Incredibles 2" introduces fans to brother and sister duo Winston and Evelyn Deavor. Together, the two run a telecommunications company, Devtech. Winston is the face of the company while Evelyn is the brain behind all the tech.
Don't be fooled by her smile.
Mrs. Incredible discovers Evelyn is the mastermind behind the Screenslaver, the villain who brainwashes a group of superheroes using goggles which put them in a trance.
But according to "The Art of Incredibles 2," Evelyn wasn't originally the movie's intended villain. Evelyn's character was supposed to be a male named Nelson.
Clay sculpts and early iterations of the movie included Nelson as Winston's brother instead of Evelyn. He looked a lot like Winston, but with hair that wasn't slicked back.
Eventually, a suggestion was made during production to explore the Nelson character as a woman and Evelyn was born.
"As we dug into that notion, we realized we had more opportunities for the character (and the film) if the character was female," said story supervisor Ted Mathot. "We came up with a new and much better introduction for her, one where the audience could get a better idea of who she is and immediately see the relationship between her and Winston."
The addition of a female villain not only added an unexpected element, but ended up making more sense for the Pixar team when it came to Helen Parr's/Mrs. Incredible's character.
"We also had the chance to create a stronger rapport between her and Helen, something that was lacking with the Nelson character."
In the movie, the two of them don't talk about men. They bond over their jobs and their goals.
Evelyn opens up about Winston's role at the company and how she's really the one running the company without getting all of the credit. It's something Parr could easily relate to. She often took a backseat to her husband getting all the glory for being the more popular superhero. "Incredibles 2" put her front and center.
