Will There Be a Lilo & Stitch Sequel?

The creators haven’t officially announced a sequel for Lilo & Stitch yet. However, as reported by The Wall Street Journal, Disney is already planning one following the live-action movie’s debut on the big screens. Initially, the movie was planned as a family-friendly Memorial Day weekend alternative to Tom Cruise’s juggernaut project, Mission: Impossible- The Final Reckoning.

However, the early metrics suggest that the Disney film will surpass the earnings of Cruise’s film. To be precise, the reports indicate that the opening week of Lilo & Stitch will see it gross $180 million against a budget of $100 million.

Disney is very confident and knows that Lilo & Stitch will not disappoint, so the creators have already started planning a potential second film that will carry the legacy forward. In an interview, the Entertainment Co-Chairman of Disney stated, “It feels like it’s going to work very well, and it’s the kind of property that lends itself to more.”

What Could Happen in Lilo & Stitch 2?

Stitch initially appeared on Earth as a destructive alien who eventually found a family in Lilo and Nani. After struggling to be with each other, they reunited and got their happily ever after. Now that Disney is planning a sequel, be ready, as it would likely adapt the animated direct-to-video film Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch. The film will see Stitch redevelop his destructive antics again and start causing chaos.

The alien doesn’t only cause chaos on Earth, but it also harms the one who made him learn the importance of family, ie. Lilo. So, like the first film, Lilo must step in and bring his best friend back to his sanity before it’s too late.
