The new movie Luca is coming to Disney+ on June 18th! The movie is an animated coming-of-age story about a young boy named Luca who spends his summer adventuring in Italy with his friends. Luca has a secret about being a sea-monster that can end up ruining all of his summer fun.
Emma Berman was born and raised in San Francisco, California, and portrays the voice of Giulia. She is an outgoing and charming character who Luca meets while he is in Italy for the summer. Giulia quickly befriends Luca and Alberto in the film and has a love for books and learning. Giulia is just all around a very fun and powerful female character and is a great addition to the film too!
