The project is in development no word on whether castmembers Chris Sanders aka Stitch, Maia Kealoha aka Lilo or director Dean Fleischer Camp are returning.

The live action feature take of the 2002 classic animated title has crossed $923M around the world, the second highest grossing MPA movie year to date after Warner Bros/Legendary’s A Minecraft Movie counts over $954M. The original Lilo & Stitch grossed $274.7M at the global box office.

Sanders, who co-directed the original movie and portrayed Stitch, reprised his voiceover role in the 2025 update. Fans loved the fact that Disney booked Sanders again, and it would be a crime for the franchise if he didn’t come back.

The video below shows Stitch driving on the Disney Burbank lot in his little car, doing donuts and wrecking mayhem. That was a key part of the marketing campaign: the irreverence of Stitch disrupting myriad cultural moments ala the Super Bowl.

Lilo & Stitch is a cornerstone brand for Disney. Last year Lilo & Stitch consumer products made an estimated $2.5 billion-plus, according to sources, and was one of 11 evergreen franchises for The Walt Disney Company that surpassed $1 billion-plus in retail sales in 2024.

Lilo & Stitch is also huge on Disney+. The entire Lilo & Stitch catalog has grown significantly each year on the OTT service and that’s based on hours streamed. The Lilo & Stitch franchise has driven over a half billion (546M) hours on Disney+ around the globe with the original movie clocking north of 280M hours viewed.
