Amid prevalent casting criticism surrounding Disney's forthcoming live action Lilo & Stitch remake, one key character has been officially recast.
The casting controversies surrounding Disney's upcoming live action Lilo & Stitch remake have continued as the character of David has been recast. While Disney did not officially confirm the original casting for the part, it was widely circulated that Kahiau Machado would take on the role of Nani's love interest and Lilo's friend. Machado was set to appear alongside the film's growing cast list which includes Courtney B.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Just one week after it was reported that Kahiau Machado would portray David in the live action Lilo & Stitch remake, Disney has officially recast the role with now Kaipot Dudoit in the role of David. According to The Hollywood Reporter, after Machado was given the role, Disney's vetting process uncovered past social media posts from the actor in which he used racial slurs.
Strikingly disparate side-by-side comparisons of the remake's cast members with the animated characters of the original 2002 classic sparked accusations of colorism against Disney. This backlash has been especially disappointing as the original Lilo & Stitch made history as the first feature-length animated film set in Hawaii and was heralded for its authentic portrayal of the indigenous culture there.
While neither director Dean Fleischer Camp nor anyone else involved in the remake early in its development have commented on the ongoing discord surrounding the film, the recasting of David is merely the first casting choice fans are urging them to reconsider. Whether the backlash surrounding the rest of the cast grows strong enough that more recasting announcements follow will be clear soon enough. Lilo & Stitch is set to film this year.
