Could Original Voice Actor for Stitch Be Returning for Live Action Remake?
The buzz continues around Disney’s live-action Lilo & Stitch with reports coming out that the actor who originally voiced the role of Stitch in 2002’s animated version could reprise the role in the live-action remake currently in the works at Walt Disney Studios.
Chris Sanders, who was the voice actor and creator behind the original Stitch is apparently in final talks with the studio to bring that famous voice back to the beloved little blue alien! Sanders wrote and directed the original Lilo & Stitch film alongside Dean DeBlois and voiced the character in the film, spin-offs, video games, and Lilo & Stitch: The Series. If hired, he’ll join newcomer Maia Kealoha who will be starring as Lilo.
We can also confirm that Tia Carrere, who originally voiced the role of Lilo’s sister Nanai will also be returning to play a new character named Mrs. Kekoa. Amy Hill who played Mrs. Hasagawa in the original will also return as new character Tutu!
Zach Galifianakis has also been cast in the role of Jumba in Lilo & Stich, Billy Magnussen as Pleakley, and Courtney B. Vance as Cobra Bubbles. We can also confirm that Sydney Elizebeth Agudong and David will be played by Kaipot Dudoit.
The live-action version of Lilo & Stitch will be directed by Marcel the Shell With Shoes On director Dean Fleischer Camp. The film is expected to premiere on the Disney+ streaming network rather than the big screen.
