Wednesday 4th June, 2025: Ahead of the release of Disney & Pixar’s all-new animated adventure Elio, Disney has announced today that popular pop-star, presenter, dancer and TV personality Aston Merrygold will join the voice cast.  

  

Aston’s character ‘Aston’ works with Aunt Olga (Zoe Saldaña) at Montez Air Force Base, where they find themselves hearing rumours of life outside Earth. 

  


Speaking of his role in the upcoming Disney and Pixar release, Aston Merrygold says: “I’m so excited and beyond honoured to join the voice cast for the all-new original film Elio from the iconic Animation Studio. I mean who isn’t a Pixar fan? It means everything to me that my kids will be able to hear their Dad’s voice on the big screen!” 

  

Aston has joined the Disney and Pixar family, following in the footsteps of recent U.K. cameo voices that includes Sam Thompson (Inside Out 2), Francis Bourgeois (Elemental), Tim Peake (Lightyear) and Anne-Marie (Turning Red), to name a few.  


For centuries, people have called out to the universe looking for answers—in Disney and Pixar’s all-new feature film “Elio,” the universe calls back! The cosmic misadventure introduces Elio, a space fanatic with an active imagination and a huge alien obsession. So, when he’s beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization with representatives from galaxies far and wide, Elio’s all in for the epic undertaking. Mistakenly identified as Earth’s leader, Elio must form new bonds with eccentric alien lifeforms, navigate a crisis of intergalactic proportions, and somehow discover who and where he is truly meant to be. Directed by Madeline Sharafian (“Burrow” Sparkshort), Domee Shi (“Bao” short, “Turning Red”) and Adrian Molina (co-screenwriter/co-director of “Coco”), and produced by Mary Alice Drumm (associate producer of “Coco”), the film features the voices of Yonas Kibreab as Elio, Zoe Saldaña as Aunt Olga, Remy Edgerly as Glordon, Brad Garrett as Lord Grigon, Jameela Jamil as Ambassador Questa and Shirley Henderson as Ooooo. “Elio” releases in cinemas June 20, 2025.
