Live-Action Kim Possible Teaser

See Live-Action Kim Possible In Action
[Source: Yahoo!] Here’s the sitch. One thing studios have been known to do is take popular animated characters, and repackage them into live-action movies. And the Disney Channel is no exception to this popular trend, as they just released the first teaser trailer for Kim Possible, the live-action reboot of the beloved animated series of the same name. In this version, fans will finally get a chance to see Kim Possible in the flesh, who will be played by actress Sadie Stanley, whose only other screen credit is a background role on the Nickelodeon show Game Shakers.

The original Kim Possible was a massively popular animated series that ran on the Disney Channel from 2002 to 2007. In it, titular character Kim Possible was a high school cheerleader and part-time crime fighter. In each episode, Kim struggled with balancing a high school life full of assignments, love interests, and schoolyard rivalries, all while trying to stop one evil genius after another from destroying the world. 
 
Kim Possible was originally voiced by actress Christy Carlson Romano, who will make an appearance in the live-action reboot, though it is unclear what role she’ll play. Patton Oswalt, who voiced villain Dr. Dementor in the original show, is set to return for the reboot as well. 
 
Sean Giambrone will co-star with Stanley as Kim’s best friend and sidekick, Ron Stoppable. The original Ron Stoppable, voiced by Will Friedle, was an affable goofball who loved nachos and his pet naked mole rat, Rufus. Ron’s best known for adding laughs to the series, which shouldn’t be a problem for Giambrone who proved his comedy chops playing Adam Goldberg in ABC comedy The Goldbergs. 
 
Though the teaser-trailer is only a few seconds long and not much is known about its plot, fans are still excited for a character, who many associate with their middle school days, to get a new generation of followers. 
 
Kim Possible will be released on the Disney Channel in 2019.

Live-Action Kim Possible Movie!

LIVE-ACTION MOVIE 2019
[Source: GameSpot] If you were a kid in the early 2000s, you probably saw the red-headed teenager sporting a beeper and going from cheerleading to fighting crime in a matter of minutes. The show went off the air in 2007, but now, Kim Possible is getting a live-action movie, and the film made a surprise appearance at Comic-Con.
Disney Channel's presentation focused on the upcoming television adaptation of Big Hero 6, Mark McCorkle and Bob Schooley are producing the show. However, they also the created Kim Possible and they're writing the new movie, so it makes sense that they had something to share about the project at Comic-Con.

Sadie Stanley will portray the crime fighting teenager, and many of the original characters from the show will be appearing on the big screen. Best friend Ron Stoppable will be played by Sean Giambore, Isaac Ryan Brown will play tech wiz Wade and Kim Possible's arch enemies, Dr. Drakken and Shego, will be played by Todd Stashwick and Taylor Ortega, respectively.

There isn't much information about the plot yet, but they did release the first photo of Stanley in costume as Kim possible and she's really rocking those combat boots.

They're making a Kim Possible Live-Action Movie!

Who do you think should play Kim Possible?
Madelaine Petsch might be Possible
[Source: TeenVogue] Earlier this week, the Disney Channel announced it was making a Kim Possible live-action movie — and that it had begun the casting process. "Call me, beep me, if you want a #KimPossible DCOM! Casting has just begun for live-action Kim Possible @DisneyChannelOriginalMovie. Who would you love to see play Kim?" a caption on the network's Instagram page read.
 
This question immediately led people to begin speculating over who could play the movie's protagonist. The initial suggestions included The Mummy's Sofia Boutella and Game of Thrones' Sophie Turner. But BuzzFeed also spotted another suggestion being thrown around on Twitter: Riverdale's Madelaine Petsch.

People have actually been calling for a Kim Possible played by Madelaine since before the movie was even announced. "Concept: a live-action Kim Possible with @madelainepetsch and @YaraShahidi as Kim and Monique," Self social media editor Taylyn Washington-Harmon wrote on February 2 in an extremely prescient tweet. Some fans are going as far as to beg Madelaine to play Kim Possible. As for the role of Ron Stoppable? Twitter is nominating none other than Spider-Man Tom Holland to play the sidekick for once.
