It’s been a minute since we received any news about Disney’s live-action Lilo & Stitch. However, now that the Hollywood strikes are over and projects are picking up steam again, it sounds like we may have just gotten a massive update about it.
According to industry insider Daniel RPK, Disney has an approximate deadline for when it wants to release the film. While we already knew to expect it in 2024, RPK says that June of 2024 could be the sweet spot.
This makes sense considering the original film is set in Hawaii and is, in essence, a feel-good Summer movie.
Now, because this info has yet to be confirmed by Walt Disney Studios or any other major trade, we have to warn you to take it with a grain of salt. Still, considering Daniel’s excellent track record we’re inclined to believe that might be true.
If true, that means that a trailer is inevitable!
