2025 is shaping up to be a big summer for aliens from outer space arriving on Earth and making a big fuss. We’ve got Kal-El in Superman, Galactus in Fantastic Four: First Steps, and the bloodthirsty Xenomorph in Alien: Earth. But perhaps the alien we should be excited about the most in Stitch, the wild little furball in Walt Disney Pictures’ upcoming live-action remake of the animated Lilo & Stitch. And during the Super Bowl, a chaotic teaser trailer for the highly anticipated summer family movie arrived.

You can watch the new Lilo & Stitch trailer right here:

The original animated Lilo & Stitch, about a wild alien who befriends a young Hawaiian girl and rocks out to Elvis songs, became a surprise hit in the summer of 2002. In fact, it was one of Walt Disney Animation’s last high 2D animated hits, before pulling the plug on 2D animated features after The Princess and the Frog. The director and writer of the original Lilo & Stitch, Chris Sanders, also provided the little guy’s voice. At first, Disney was going to cast someone else as the CGI version of Stitch’s voice for the new reboot. Ultimately, wiser heads prevailed, and they realized no one could play Stitch better than the man who created him.

This Super Bowl trailer for Lilo & Stitch really captures the energy of Stitch in its full live-action glory. Who but Stitch could cause such halftime chaos at the big game? We have to say, this Lilo & Stitch live-action teaser trailer is SO adorable. It really got us good.

The rest of the Lilo & Stitch cast includes Maia Kealoha as Lilo, and Sydney Agudong as Lilo’s older sister Naki. Also in the cast is Tia Carrere as social worker Mrs. Kakoa. Carrere actually played Naki in the original animated film. Zach Galifianakis plays Stitch’s creator, Dr. Jumba Jookiba, with Billy Magnussen playing Agent Pleakley. We didn’t see them in this Lilo & Stitch live-action Super Bowl trailer, but we can’t wait until we do.

Will the new version of Lilo & Stitch become as beloved as the original? Most of these Disney live-action remakes never really surpass the original animated versions. Here’s hoping that Lilo & Stitch will be the one that does the trick.

Lilo & Stitch hits theaters everywhere on Memorial Day Weekend.

Three friends navigate womanhood in an unpredictable, tech-driven world in the new series Oh My God…Yes! A Series of Extremely Relatable Circumstances, premiering Sunday, March 9 at 12:15am PT/ET on Adult Swim.

Created by Emmy® nominated writer and executive producer Adele “Supreme” Williams (“My Dad the Bounty Hunter”), the quarter-hour adult animated comedy is executive produced by Dominique Braud (“The Simpsons”) and follows three women, Sunny, Tulip, and Ladi, who live in the not-so-distant future of South Central LA.

“Usually when someone uses a futuristic setting to comment on the present, it’s a brooding downer,” said Adult Swim president Michael Ouweleen. “But Adele has made a future that is both plausible, relatable, and most importantly, unique and hilarious.”

“The series is ripe with unconventional characters and the geography of the world honors that of the South Central I grew up in but with a sci fi twist,” said Williams. “The scenarios our characters wind up in are pretty absurd but within the absurdity is a smart, bold exploration of – and commentary on – the human condition.”

The series will debut on Adult Swim with two back-to-back episodes, followed by one new episode every Sunday. New episodes will also stream Mondays on Max. “Oh My God…Yes! A Series of Relatable Circumstances” is produced for Adult Swim by Six Point Harness.

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland and Walt Disney World is a Star Wars fan’s dream come true in many ways. But one thing about it that no one is happy with is the fixed timeline to the sequel trilogy. Now, we’re not sequel haters here. We love seeing Rey and Kylo Ren in the land. But what about characters from the other two trilogies?? Park guests really want to see them too. Well, according to the Disney Parks X account, it looks like Luke Skywalker is officially coming to Galaxy’s Edge. The official account teased Luke’s arrival in a post on social media. The follow-up post mentions Season of the Force, a Disneyland-only promotion. So maybe Luke won’t come to Orlando, just Anaheim.

This very much looks just like Luke Skywalker in his Return of the Jedi robes, with his trusted Astromech R2-D2 by his side. R2 does occasionally stroll through Galaxy’s Edge, although to be fair, he is a character who covers the entire Skywalker Saga. This Luke appears to be the one we meet in season two of The Mandalorian, when he answers Grogu’s Force call. True, we’ve seen other non-sequel trilogy characters in Galaxy’s Edge over the last few years, like Ahsoka, Sabine, Boba Fett, and Mando and Grogu. But they’re usually tie-ins to promote a Disney+ series. Characters from the other Star Wars trilogies have been famously absent.

This looks to all change with Luke’s arrival. Does this mean we’ll finally see Han, Leia, and Darth Vader himself? What about Obi-Wan and Queen Amidala? Disney does have the costumes on hand. They tend to bring them out on special event nights, like Star Wars Disneyland After Dark Nite. But shouldn’t they always be in Galaxy’s Edge? As long as a Phantom Menace-era Anakin isn’t standing around next to Darth Vader, we think it’s high time the entire film saga was represented. Hopefully, Master Skywalker’s arrival in Galaxy’s Edge means those old rules are finally loosening up.
