LOS ANGELES – Newcomer Sadie Stanley is set to star in the upcoming live-action Disney Channel Original Movie “Kim Possible.”

Mark McCorkle and Bob Schooley will serve as executive producers of the series which is based upon the 2002-07 hit animated series voiced by Christy Carlson Romano as Kim Possible and Will Friedle as her sidekick Ron Stoppable.

The movie will be co-directed and co-produced by Adam B. Stein and Zach Lipovsky (both of Disney XD’s “MECH-X4”). Blyth Nailling (ABC’s “Last Man Standing” and “Scrubs”) is the casting director.

Also starring are Alyson Hannigan (“How I Met Your Mother,” Disney Junior’s animated series “Fancy Nancy”) as brain surgeon Dr. Ann Possible (AKA Mom Possible); Todd Stashwick (“12 Monkeys”) and Taylor Ortega will play fan-favorite villains Drakken and Shego, respectively; Connie Ray (“The Big C”) as grandmother Nana Possible; Ciara Wilson (“OMG!”) as new high school student Athena; Erika Tham (“Make It Pop”) who will play Kim’s childhood frenemy, Bonnie; and Issac Ryan Brown (“Raven’s Home”) as teen computer genius Wade.
