For those who may not know, Cobra is the chill social worker who keeps the fun under check when it comes to Lilo’s shenanigans. Let us just say, some fans are already imagining Vance, in a sweet Hawaiian shirt, absolutely killing 'casual vibe only' look. He is expert at handling intergalactic chaos with immaculate ease enough to make fans wonder if it’s just another day at the office for him.

Get ready for all the 'what in the world' moments, a huge wave of nostalgia and collective cue gasps as the live action hits the premiere soon.

Now, on to more serious matters—if there is one thing internet is famous for, it is giving a skeptical eye roll to casting decisions. This time as well, some fans did not like the casting decision too much and instead shoot out their own recommendations.

Well, what's done is done, but we hope for the best. Cobra Bubbles is the epitome of cool, a mustachioed legend who effortlessly handles all things Lilo with ease. As far as the first look is concerned, Vance is nailing that perfect mix of smooth and supportive.
