Disney’s live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch adds a new actor to the cast list as No Time to Die star Billy Magnussen joins Zach Galifianakis and Maia Kealoha. The live-action remake of the 2002 animated classic will reintroduce the story of an alien learning the meaning of ohana (which means family in Hawaiian). Engineered to be a force of destruction, Stitch, or Experiment 626, escapes from his exile to crash-land on Earth, and becomes a more caring, calmer being through his interactions with Lilo and her older sister Nani.

Kealoha will be portraying Lilo. It is currently unknown who Magnussen and Galifianakis will be playing. The likely answer to that would be Dr. Jumba Jookiba (Stitch’s creator), and Agent Pleakley, who are sent to Earth to recover Stitch.
