Dwayne Johnson shares new behind-the-scenes photos taken from the recording booth for Moana 2, which releases in November.
“Bringing MAUI back to life for MOANA 2!” Johnson’s caption reads. “So much fun becoming MAUI again – a character that changed my life in many ways – including the character of MAUI being inspired by my late grandfather, High Chief Peter Maivia. The Polynesian cultural significance of the role and our story has touched families around the world and has easily become one of my truest honors to bring to life and share. New characters, new journeys, new music.
Moana 2 is written and directed by David G. Derrick Jr. Along with Johnson, Auli’i Cravalho is reprising her role as Moana in the movie, while further casting information is unknown at this time. “Walt Disney Animation Studios’ epic animated musical Moana 2 takes audiences on an expansive new voyage with Moana, Maui and a brand-new crew of unlikely seafarers,” reads the film‘s synopsis. “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.”
The original Moana was released in United States theaters in November 2016. Directed by John Musker and Ron Clements, it made approximately $687.2 million at the global box office. Along with the upcoming sequel, a live-action Moana adaptation directed by Thomas Kail is in the works and expected to be released in 2026.Brandon Schreur has been writing about comics, movies, television shows, and all things pop culture for roughly five years.
