The newest addition to live-action Lilo & Stitch is Sydney Elizabeth Agudong, and she will be playing Nani, opposite Maia Kealoha, who joined the cast back in March alongside Zach Galifianakis and Billy Magnussen. 

There isn't much information about this adaptation that we know right now. Kealoha is set to star as the title character Lilo Pelekai. She will lead the story about the young protagonist, a Hawaiian girl and frequent social castoff who's raised by her older sister Nani. If the remake has the same narrative as the animation, it will follow Lilo after she finds and befriends a dog-like alien named Stitch, who is also an outcast in his own way. After Stitch crash lands on Earth, Lilo will try her best to protect him from other aliens, while also dealing with social services hounding her and Nani.

The Lilo & Stitch remake is written by Chris Kekaniokelani Bright, who makes his feature writing debut with the movie. It will be directed by Marcel the Shell with Shoes On's director Dean Fleischer Camp. Camp is the second director attached to the project following the previous announcement of Jon M. 

Lilo & Stitch currently has no projected release window but is expected to debut on Disney+.
