A fanmade trailer for the live-action Moana imagines Dwayne Johnson as Maui, and Zendaya in the titular role. The Disney animated film premiered in 2016, gaining critical and commercial success, along with two Academy Award nominations. Set in Ancient Polynesia, it follows the character of Moana, who seeks to return a mystical stone to the goddess Te Fiti in order to save her village from a devastating blight. In the original movie, Moana was voiced by Auli’i Cravalho, while Johnson portrayed Maui, a demigod responsible for stealing the artifact known as The Heart of Te Fiti.
It was announced back in April that a live-action Moana film would be made, with Johnson returning to play Maui. When confirming the news, the actor revealed that it will feature many elements from the original movie, which could include HeiHei, Pua, and other characters. Given how popular its songs have become, most notably “How Far I’ll Go” and “You’re Welcome,” it is worth wondering if any new music will be added as well, similar to previous Disney live-action remakes.
Check out the new teaser trailer for Walt Disney Animated Studios’ “Moana 2.” Moana voyages back to the big screen this November in the all-new feature film starring Auli‘i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson as Moana and demigod Maui, respectively.
A trailer, poster and images are now available to share with your readers. Opening only in theaters Nov. 27, 2024, “Moana 2” reunites Moana and Maui three years later for an expansive new voyage alongside a crew of unlikely seafarers. After receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana must journey to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced.
Directed by David Derrick Jr., Jason Hand and Dana Ledoux Miller, and produced by Christina Chen and Yvett Merino, “Moana 2” features music by Grammy® winners Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, Grammy nominee Opetaia Foaʻi, and three-time Grammy winner Mark Mancina.
