Article Summary

  • Disney has officially greenlit a sequel to the live-action Lilo & Stitch in honor of 626 Day celebrations.
  • The confirmation follows strong box office performance, with the film earning over $900 million worldwide.
  • Sequel rumors began circulating in May before Disney made the announcement, aligning with fan speculation.
  • No details on plot, cast, or release date for the Lilo & Stitch sequel have been revealed yet by Disney.

Well, this should be a surprise for exactly no one. The live-action Lilo & Stitch revived the entire concept of the Disney live-action movies and seemed to prove that there might be some gas left in that tank. Considering how all of the movies prior to this one have performed, we're still going to label this TDB. Disney must be happy with the results because the rumors from late last month are apparently true. On May 21st, it was reported that Disney was already considering a sequel to this live-action film, and that was a couple of days before the film did exceptionally well at the box office. Now we're a month out from the release, and on 626 Day, a day that celebrates Lilo & Stitch because  626 is Stitch's number, and with an over $900 million worldwide box office, Disney has officially confirmed that a sequel is in development. There are no other details at this time.
