Disney has teased the potential of future Lilo & Stitch live-action sequels ahead of the film’s upcoming premiere.
What did Disney say about Lilo & Stitch 2?
Speaking to the Wall Street Journal recently, Disney Entertainment Co-Chairman Alan Bergman teased the possibility of future movies. With the film estimated to open to more than $150 million in the U.S. and Canada, Bergman noted that it feels like fans already want more.
“It feels like it’s going to work very well, and it’s the kind of property that lends itself to more,” said Bergman.
Lilo & Stitch’s live-action adaptation is set to premiere in theaters on May 23, 2025.
Maia Kealoha stars as Lilo in the film, while Sydney Agudong plays Nani, Kaipo Dudoit plays David, Tia Carrere plays Mrs. Kekoa, Courtney B. Vance plays Cobra Bubbles, Amy Hill plays Tūtū, and Jason Scott Lee is playing a luau manager. The voice cast, meanwhile, includes Sanders as Stitch, Zach Galifianakis as Dr. Jumba, and Billy Magnussen as Agent Pleakley.
“A live-action reimagining of Disney’s 2002 animated classic, “Lilo & Stitch” is the wildly funny and touching story of a lonely Hawaiian girl and the fugitive alien who helps to mend her broken family,” says the synopsis.

Sanders voiced the character in the original movie and numerous other projects, including Lilo & Stitch: The Series, 2005’s Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch, and 2006’s Leroy & Stitch.
