10 Movie Sequels You Didn't Know Were Happening
6. Lilo & Stitch 2
Disney has been going all in, focusing more on live-action remakes and sequels than original stories in recent years, so how about another sequel to a live-action remake? Mufasa: The Lion King released last year as the follow-up to Jon Favreau's reimagining in 2019, and now Lilo and Stitch will follow suit.
Releasing in 2025, Disney's marketing for Lilo and Stitch was huge, as the little alien could be seen everywhere you turned, and it seems to have paid off. The outing has been a smash hit, just a whisper away from hitting one billion dollars at the global box office.
This may have somewhat reaffirmed Disney's faith in the live-action strategy. Following on from the dismal showing from Snow White at the box office, the reboot of Tangled that was in the works was reportedly swiftly put on hold.
After the opposite fortunes of Lilo and Stitch, though, a follow-up was greenlit almost immediately. Since the ending of the film was drastically changed from the 2002 version, expect the live-action sequel to go in its own direction, adapting very little, if any part of the original sequel, Stitch Has a Glitch.
