Lilo & Stitch Live-Action Movie: First Look at Stitch's Design Revealed on Set

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney paused production on its live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike.

Expected to release on Disney+ in 2024, Lilo & Stitch stars newcomer Maia Kealoha as Lilo, Chris Sanders reprising his voice-acting role as Stitch, and Zack Galifianakis as Jumba.

Filming began on May 1 on-location in Hawaii and offered a first look at Stitch's design.

What's particularly noteworthy is the claim that the remake only had a week left of filming before it was shut down.

[...]

The fact Lilo & Stitch was a week shy of wrapping puts the film in an interesting position and presents Disney with several options.

For instance, Disney may choose to finish the movie with the footage it already has.

Since the remake was headed straight to Disney+, this may be best for Disney financially, especially since it would save costs required to resume production post-strike.

While live-action remakes typically do well at the box office, they're not always well-received by audiences. Without the appeal of ticket sales, Disney may opt to halt Lilo & Stitch's production for good.

We are hearing, which is kind of obvious, that the character Captain Gantu will appear in the remake. Additionally, while I could not 100% could not confirm who is voicing the character, I have been told multiple times from people I trust that Kevin Michael Richardson is returning to voice. Richardson voiced the character in the 2001 animated original as well as its many sequels and Disney Channel series.
