‘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.

Jeffrey Epstein accuser ends 'sex slave' lawsuit against prominent psychiatrist
By Jonathan Stempel NEW YORK (Reuters) - A former model on Friday ended her lawsuit that accused a prominent psychiatrist who was once close friends with Jeffrey Epstein of helping enable the disgraced late financier's sex trafficking, and turning her into a "modern-day sex slave." The unnamed model, using the pseudonym Jane Doe 11, voluntarily dismissed her civil lawsuit against psychiatrist Henry Jarecki, according to a Manhattan federal court filing. Her dismissal was with prejudice, meaning she cannot pursue the case against the longtime Yale University faculty member again. Jarecki has denied wrongdoing. Doe sought unspecified damages last June when she sued Jarecki, who was 91 at the time. She had accused Jarecki of raping her dozens of times starting in 2011, after Epstein referred her for mental health treatment following his own sexual abuses. Doe also said Jarecki shared confidential medical information with Epstein, and shielded him from law enforcement. Doe said she had no contact with Jarecki after 2014. Jarecki was listed in Epstein's now-public address book. Lawyers for Doe did not immediately respond to requests for comment. A lawyer for Jarecki declined to comment. In seeking a dismissal, Jarecki's lawyers labeled Doe's allegations "ludicrous," and called Jarecki a "respected doctor, businessman, and philanthropist." They also said Doe waited too long to sue. Jarecki's works include the book "Modern Psychiatric Treatment." He also became wealthy trading commodities and from selling MovieFone, which he and his son co-founded, to America Online for about $388 million in stock in 1999. Many people, including Britain's Prince Andrew and British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, have been sued over their ties to Epstein, who killed himself in jail in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. The case is Doe v Jarecki, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 24-04208.
