Yonas Kibreab, whom you might remember as a Jedi youngling in Obi-Wan Kenobi, will voice Elio, and told a packed D23 Expo audience he is "so grateful to be in a Pixar movie and play Elio."

Kibreab will be joined on the voice cast with America Ferrera (Ugly Betty, Superstore), who plays his mother, Olga Solis. Ferrera is a long-time member of the Disney family, having appeared in the 2002 Disney Channel film Gotta Kick It Up.

Elio is pencilled in for a spring 2024 debut.
