That, according to the press release, is still part of the moviebut this trailer doesnt mention it.
Lets start with the new one.
Now clearly that looks pretty fun.

A character-driven story of friendship set in space.
Plus, theres the bigger threat and we can assume Elio is still going to save Earth somehow.
It could be great.
But lets go back.
Heres the first trailer forElio.
It sure seems like he was previously either a good guy or served a different purpose.
Heres the first trailer.
Now, to be fair, thats a very early teaser trailer.
The movie could still be about something else.
We dont know Grigon doesnt flip.
We dont know if Glordon is in it.
Its just not in the teaser.
However, inElioscase, we actually got another trailer too.
In retrospect, its basically a bridge between the two.
In this clip, you could see the movie from the latest trailer taking shape.
The scene of Elio meeting the other alien ambassadors is different but still present.
And Grigon now has a more ominous look about him.
So what happened here?
We dont know for sure.
Presumably earlier versions ofEliowerent working as well as the studio wanted and Pixar made changes to improve it.
That usually happens behind the scenes though so its fun to see a hint of it in the marketing.
But, again, this is Pixar.
Well see if it was worth it this summer.
It was directed by Madeline Sharafian, Domee Shi, and Adrian Molina, and opens June 20.
