As of now, there has not been an official trailer released for Moana 2 live-action, but excitement is building around Disneyโs planned live-action adaptation of Moana. Announced in early 2023, the project is set to bring the beloved animated film to life, with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson reprising his role as the demigod Maui. Auli’i Cravalho, who voiced Moana in the 2016 animated film, is involved as a producer, but a new actress will be cast to portray the titular character in the live-action version.
The film will retell the story of Moana, a young wayfinder who embarks on a perilous journey across the Pacific to save her people. Along the way, she teams up with Maui, a powerful but self-absorbed demigod, and together they face mythical creatures and natural challenges. The live-action adaptation is expected to stay faithful to the original while enhancing the visual spectacle with real-world settings and CGI.
Although no trailer has been officially released yet, fans can expect the breathtaking Polynesian landscapes, powerful music (including the hit songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda), and heartwarming moments to be recreated in this new format. Given Disneyโs successful track record with live-action remakes, such as The Lion King and Aladdin, the Moana live-action adaptation is highly anticipated and promises to deliver a fresh yet familiar take on the beloved story.
