The live-action ‘Lilo & Stitch’ is in theaters May 23
Stitch is invading the 2025 Super Bowl field with his wild antics.
On Sunday, Feb. 9, Disney unveiled a new teaser for the live-action adaptation of Lilo & Stitch, showing the titular blue alien running the field and crashing a cart into the end zone during the big game.
Similar to the original 2002 animated classic, the upcoming film will follow the formation of a friendship between Lilo, a lonely Hawaiian girl, and Stich, a dog-like alien, but new characters will also be introduced.

This time around, Hawaiian newcomer Maia Kealoha plays the role of Lilo. “When I found out I was going to be Lilo, my jaw literally dropped and I couldn’t even believe it. I rung my dad and I said, ‘I did it! I’m Lilo! I’m Lilo!’ And then they grabbed me and we jumped up and down. I was so excited,” Kealoha told PEOPLE in May 2024.
As for Stitch, the character will be voiced by Chris Sanders, the voice actor, filmmaker and animator who originally created the character and co-wrote and co-directed the animated film with Dean DeBlois.

Sanders told Collider in September he always hoped the movie’s “story and characters would have staying power, and I’m really glad that they have.”
“I’ve never stopped doing the voice. I do it for all the different stage shows and parades and everything, and it’s nice to, several times a year, be able to revisit that character,” he said.
Additional cast members include Sydney Agudong, who plays Nani, Lilo’s sister, and Kahiau Machado as David Kawena, Nani’s love interest and Lilo’s friend.
