New Lilo & Stitch Trailer Gives Us Our Best Look Yet at Live-Action Lilo, Cobra Bubbles, and Pleakley

by Jonathan Mar 16,2025

The live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch has unveiled its official trailer, offering a captivating glimpse into Maia Kealoha's portrayal of Lilo, Courtney B. Vance as Cobra Bubbles, and Billy Magnussen as Pleakley. While previous teasers showcased Stitch, this trailer centers on Kealoha, providing a compelling comparison to Daveigh Chase's iconic performance in the 2002 animated original.

The trailer also features Zach Galifianakis' Jumba and Magnussen's Pleakley, showcasing a unique twist: Jumba and Pleakley initially appear disguised as their human actors. A fleeting glimpse, however, reveals Pleakley in his true alien form. The trailer faithfully recreates several cherished scenes from the original film, including Stitch's dramatic arrival resembling a falling star, Stitch's canine disguise at the animal shelter, and the heartwarming "Ohana means family" moment.

Lilo & Stitch will grace theaters on May 23, 2025, joining the ranks of Disney's live-action remakes of beloved classics, arriving shortly after the live-action Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs (March 21, 2024).
