Pleakley wearing a wig and admiring himself in Lilo and Stitch
Lilo & Stitch star Billy Magnussen shares his hopes for how the live-action remake will be received. Magnussen is playing the alien Agent Pleakley, who is forced to hunt down Experiment 626, also known as Stitch, alongside Stitch's creator, Dr. Jumba Jookiba. Lilo & Stitch's live-action cast features comedic actor Zach Galifianakis in the role of Jumba, while Maia Kealoha and Sydney Agudong have been cast as sisters Lilo and Nani Pelekai.
I hope they embrace it as its own story. When they make these live-action films, sometimes I think people hold on to what the other one was, and they're not in competition. Finding family and friends, being an outcast, and finding your community and your family. I would hope you wouldn't fight that, and embrace that.
With more live-action remakes on the way, Disney needs to figure out how to best strike the balance between retaining the original's thematic spirit and making the inevitable changes.
