After Lilo & Stitch became a $1 billion hit at the worldwide box office, it’s no surprise the live-action movie is officially getting a sequel, with the original creator/voice Chris Sanders reportedly penning the script. So when we caught up with the cast at San Diego Comic-Con, we fielded their thoughts on what they’d like to see, and there’s one addition they agree they are ready to see more of in the next movie.
During my interview with Maia Kealoha (Lilo), Sydney Agudong (Nani) and Tia Carrere (a new character named Mrs. Kekoa/the original Nani voice actress), I pointed out how much I loved seeing that Nani and David’s relationship was finally confirmed to be a real romance as Nani goes off to college. Here’s what Agudong said about it:
I thought about this a little bit and I feel like I’m excited. I think that Nani and David are adorable. I think they’re adorable. I mean, I would say that they could be endgame for sure. I mean, who knows what’s gonna happen, but I think that they’re an iconic duo for a reason.
such as with her surfing background, but some fans were not into the changes with Lilo and Nani’s ending.
Maia Kealoha also had her own take on why she wants to see David and Nani back for the sequel. In her words:
I think that would be great because Kaipo Dudoit is also very funny. And my favorite scene that he played was like, ‘I miss shredding you… I mean, I miss seeing you shred.’
That was a really funny scene. Here’s hoping we’ll finally get more of Nani and David’s relationship in the sequel. The trio are definitely all in on more from the supporting character.
Lilo & Stitch’s release remains to be the biggest Hollywood movie of the year, and we can’t wait to see what they cook up in the upcoming sequel. For now, you can catch Lilo & Stitch on digital!
