Believe it or not, one Disney World character seems to have more fans than Mickey Mouse himself. Listen, we’ve met a lot of characters in Disney World. Some are super sweet, others are hilarious, and some characters are so popular that they attract HUGE crowds.

Stitch is practically a celebrity!
Stitch is arguably one of Disney’s most popular characters and now he’s getting a NEW Disney movie. For all our Stitch fans, listen up; we’ve got some big news!
Lately, it seems like Disney has been remaking every classic movie — from Cinderella to The Lion King — with a live-action cast. The latest movie to receive the live-action treatment is Disney’s Lilo & Stitch, which is reportedly set to star Zach Galifianakis and Maia Kealoha.

Hey, Lilo!
Deadline recently reported that Disney’s live-action Lilo & Stitch film will also star Billy Magnussen, whom you may recognize from movies like No Time to Die, Game Night, and Into the Woods. We still don’t know which character Magnussen plans to bring to life, but we do know that Maia Kealoha is set to play Lilo.

Not only that, but The Hollywood Reporter also announced that actress Sydney Elizabeth Agudong is set to play Nani, Lilo’s older sister. The cast is really starting to come together! Any predictions for Nani’s love interest, David?
