Zoe Saldaña plays Solis's aunt, Olga. She was originally written as Solis's mother and was supposed to be portrayed by Barbie actress America Ferrera. During a conversation with The Wrap on August 9, 2024, Chief Creative Officer of Pixar, Pete Docter, mentioned that Ferrera had to leave "due to scheduling conflicts." The character was reportedly rewritten as aunt to match the vision for the movie.

Saldaña has earned recognition in Hollywood for her iconic roles in the Avatar franchise and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For her performance in the musical crime film Emilia Pérez, she won her first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress at the Oscars 2025.

Remy Edgerly is the voice actor behind Glordon, an otherworldly creature that befriends the protagonist. The friends embark on an adventure together as the young boy becomes the ambassador of planet Earth. Glordon's design is reportedly based on studies of larval insects and microbiotic creatures, including the tardigrade or water bears.

Edgerly, the son of American voice actor and comedian, Chris Edgerly, has several voice acting credits such as the award-winnig drama series, Helluva Boss and the 2021 jukebox musical comedy film, Sing 2.
