‘Elio' Post-Credits Scenes—Why You Should Stick Around After The Movie
Elio is now in theaters. Pixar Animation Studios' latest film Elio has blasted off into theaters. The family-friendly, intergalactic adventure holds an impressive 86% score (so far) on Rotten Tomatoes. If you're gearing up to watch the film on the big screen, here's what to know about the post-credits scenes and why you should stay in your seat until the very end. Elio follows 11-year-old orphan Elio Solís, who feels so alone that his biggest wish is to be abducted by aliens… and somehow, that wish comes true. He suddenly finds himself transported across the galaxy and mistaken for Earth's ambassador to the Communiverse, a coalition of alien civilizations. 'Elio, an underdog with an active imagination, finds himself inadvertently beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization with representatives from galaxies far and wide,' the synopsis reads. 'Mistakenly identified as Earth's ambassador to the rest of the universe, he starts to form new bonds with eccentric aliens while discovering who he's truly meant to be.' Yonas Kibreab, who voices Elio, shared with MovieFone what he hopes audiences will take away after watching the Pixar film. 'I hope the first thing that they take away is just how amazing this movie is, but also just how important your friends and your family are,' he said. "Friendship is very important, just like Elio and Glordon, and your friends are always going to be there for you, including your family members. Also, if you're feeling alone, if you're feeling like it's hard to find friends and you're going through grief, it's all going to be okay, and you will find your people. Just stay positive. The 14-year-old actor is joined by Zoe Saldaña as Aunt Olga, Remy Edgerly as Glordon, Brad Garrett as Lord Grigon, Jameela Jamil as Ambassador Questa and Shirley Henderson as OOOOO. As you watch Elio in theaters, you might be wondering whether it's worth sticking around after the credits roll. Here's what to know about the post-credits scenes and the current status of Elio 2. Does Elio Have A Post-Credits Scene? Elio is now in theaters. Yes, Elio has multiple post-credits scenes, so you'll want to stick around after the film concludes. Without revealing spoilers, there's a mid-credits scene involving Elio that serves as a continuation of the film and opens the door for a sequel. There's also another end-credits scene that teases Disney and Pixar's upcoming 2026 film Hoppers. Will There Be An Elio 2? Elio is now in theaters. Disney and Pixar have not yet announced a sequel to Elio. However, if the film performs well at the box office, there's a strong chance we could see Elio 2. Pixar is known for turning its successful movies into sequels or franchises, as seen with Inside Out, Monsters, Inc., The Incredibles, Finding Nemo and Toy Story. Upcoming sequels include Toy Story 5 (June 19, 2026), The Incredibles 3 (TBA) and Coco 2 (2029). That said, several other popular Pixar films have yet to receive the sequel treatment, including Soul and Luca. The studio will likely wait to evaluate Elio's performance and fan reception before greenlighting another movie or spinoff. Based on Elio's mid-credits scene, his ongoing contact with Glordon further cements his future in the galaxy, setting the stage for the boy's story to be explored in a possible sequel. Watch the official trailer for Elio below.

James Gunn Shuts Down Hopes for Guillermo del Toro's JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK Movie — GeekTyrant
For years, fans have imagined what a Guillermo del Toro-directed Justice League Dark movie would've looked like. A gothic dream team of Constantine, Jason Blood, Zatanna, Swamp Thing, and Deadman wrapped in the filmmaker's signature visual flair. With James Gunn now steering the ship at DC Studios, some hoped that project might finally take shape. Unfortunately, according to Gunn himself, that's just not happening. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Gunn addressed the long-whispered possibility of reviving del Toro's abandoned Justice League Dark project. Gunn said: 'By the way, Guillermo's never said that to me. I hear all these things about, 'Guillermo would love to do Justice League Dark. Well, Guillermo's never said that to me. 'Just let Steven Spielberg do his Blackhawks movie that he wants to do!' Steven Spielberg, who I love above anyone else, has never said that to me. 'So these things get blown out of proportion. Years and years ago, I said I wanted to make a Thunderbolts movie. I was in a convention somewhere, and somebody asked me, 'What did I want to do that wasn't Guardians of the Galaxy?' I said Thunderbolts. 'And for years and years, it's like, 'James Gunn should be allowed to make his Thunderbolts movie.' I have a million things that I thought I wanted to do in certain moments.' Del Toro did spend a chunk of time developing a Justice League Dark film years ago, and his affection for DC's monsters and magical misfits is no secret. But, that project officially fizzled out in 2018, and nothing solid has emerged since, not from del Toro, not from J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot, which was also attached to a version of the story at one point. It's a shame. Del Toro's passion for the material and his history with comic book films make him a natural fit for the darker, weirder corners of the DC universe, and considering his recent run of critically acclaimed films like Nightmare Alley , Pinocchio , and the upcoming Frankenstein , it's not like he lacks the clout to do it. But, he hasn't reached out to Gunn about it, so Del Toro has clearly moved on from DC. Still, all hope may not be lost. Gunn has been clear that DC Studios will continue to explore standalone Elseworlds projects, films that operate outside the shared continuity, like Joker or The Batman. Del Toro once offered up some information on his unmade Justice League Dark project, saying: "I took a little bit of the opening of the Alan Moore Constantine. And I took the dynamics between [Abby Arcane] and Swamp Thing, and I took the sort of revelatory moments when Deadman gets into a body, how he would experience the consciousness of that being. 'And one of my all time favorites is the demon Etrigan. I love that character. You know, so you try to put them together ... Zatanna is really, for me, another character that is really effortlessly powerful and interesting. Trying to mix that with Klarion the Witch Boy ... I was a DC guy." If del Toro ever does express renewed interest, maybe there's a path forward under that banner. But for now, Justice League Dark remains a ghost story in the halls of unrealized superhero cinema.
