The new Disney/Pixar film “Elio” has received new concept art and a new release date
‘Elio’ Release Date and Concept Art
Disney/Pixar’s “Elio” will be released on June 13, 2025. Zoe Saldana has joined the cast and will play Elio’s aunt. Yonas Kibreab stars as Elio, along with America Ferrera as Elio’s mom, Olga; Jameela Jamil as Ambassador Questa; and Brad Garrett as Ambassador Grigon.
New concept art also depicts Elio in his science fiction world.
The film was originally supposed to be released in 2024 but was pushed back because of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. The first teaser trailer and poster were released in 2023. “Coco” writer Adrian Molina was originally set to direct but Domee Shi (“Bao,” “Turning Red” director) and Madeline Sharafian have taken over.
The original feature film introduces Elio, an underdog with an active imagination who finds himself inadvertently beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization with representatives from galaxies far and wide. Mistakenly identified as Earth’s ambassador to the rest of the universe, and completely unprepared for that kind of pressure, Elio must form new bonds with eccentric alien lifeforms, survive a series of formidable trials, and somehow discover who he is truly meant to be.
