The official trailer for the live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch has arrived and it gives us our best look yet at Maia Kealoha’s Lilo, Courtney B. Vance’s Cobra Bubbles, and Billy Magnussen’s Pleakley.
While we’ve seen a good amount of Stitch in the teasers for Lilo & Stitch so far, Kealoha is finally taking center stage and showing how she will be portraying the character that Daveigh Chase first played in the 2002 original.
We also get to see the serious but lovable Cobra Bubbles in action alongside Zach Galifianakis’ Jumba and Billy Magnussen’s Pleakley. In an interesting twist, it looks like Jumba and Pleakley will, at least for a bit, be disguised as their human actors on Earth instead of their alien forms with clothes on. However, we do get to see Pleakley in his alien form for a quick second.
The trailer also shows us live-action versions of many of the iconic scenes from the original, including Stitch arriving in a fashion that looks like a falling star to Lilo, Stitch making himself look more like a dog at the shelter, and even the wonderful moment when Lilo says, “Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.”
Lilo & Stitch will be released in theaters on May 23, 2025, and will be another live-action version of a beloved classic Disney film. It also arrives just a few short months after the live-action version of Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs on March 21.
