Elio is an upcoming anticipated Disney film that has created significant buzz lately, thanks to the visually striking trailers. As indicated by the videos and the official synopsis by Disney, it follows the adventurous journey of a little boy named Elio, who is abducted by intergalactic beings who mistakenly believe him to be Earth’s ambassador. While the trailers introduced us to every major character, fans are curious to know about the villain of the Elio movie. Here are the answers you are looking for.
Elio Villian Explained
Lord Grigon is the villain in the Elio movie. The villainous character only has one ultimate goal, and that is to create the most deadly war machine that will let him rule every planet across the cosmos.
However, the character wasn’t intended to be a villain; instead, before the creative team reworked the story, Lord Grigon was simply Grigon, who liked to crack silly jokes. However, he has now transformed into Lord Grigon, and to replace the comic relief character, the film has the villain’s son, Glordon.
Lord Grigon will do anything to fulfill his desire, which is to dominate the Intergalactic Council along with every other planet. So, eye-patch wearing Elio must discover the power within to protect himself as well as the aliens he befriends while navigating the planet full of otherworldly beings.
The more Lord Grigon uses his powers to enhance the threat level, the more determined Elio will be to awaken the source of his powers, which does need a push. Well, here, we aren’t saying the boy harbors any supernatural powers; in fact, it’s his will and his love for his alien companions that will encourage him to lock horns with the enemy.
Who Voices Lord Grigon in Elio?
Brad Garrett has voiced the villain, Lord Girgon, in Elio. This is the fourth Disney character whom he has voiced; the other ones were Finding Nemo’s Bloat, A Bug’s Life’s Dim, and Ratatouille’s Auguste Gusteau.
