Senior Vice President of Casting and Talent Relations at Disney Channel, Judy Taylor commented: “Sadie delivers Kim’s confidence, smarts, and agility; most importantly, she’s an everyday girl with an extraordinary spirit.”
She added: “Sean is such a magnetic actor; he always finds the right balance of physical comedy and heart. We’re excited for audiences to see Sadie and Sean bring these iconic roles to life.”
Sadie, 16, hails from Columbia, South Carolina, and prides herself on landing the first ever role she auditioned for. Since guest-starring on Game Shakers, she’s somebody who clearly has a very successful future ahead of her.
Sean, 18, stars in The Goldbergs on ABC, and is set to film the Kim Possible live-action movie before returning to that show’s sixth season production in the summer.
Emmy Award-winning Mark McCorkle and Bob Schooley have teamed with Josh Cagan to write the script for the movie, with McCorkle and Schooley also serving as executive producers alongside Zanne Devine. Adam B. Stein and Zach Lipovsky meanwhile will co-direct and co-produce.
