, and the first movie has already begun filming a live-action remake. This is unprecedented for Disney, as the movie is only eight years old. Disney’s live-action remakes don’t have the best reputation, buthas something that those movies didn’t: a member of the original cast reprising their role for the live-action adaptation. Dwayne Johnson is returning as Maui and a new set photo shows what he’s going to look like in the upcoming movie.
All told, it’s a simple photo — a bit blurry, showing stars Catherine Laga’aia as Moana with Dwayne Johnson as Maui on set. However, it is the first look at Johnson as the live-action Maui that we’ve seen., and many fans of the original were wondering just how they’d make Johnson look like his animated counterpart. While Johnson is a large man thanks to his career as WWE’s “The Rock” ensuring that he is a mountain of muscle, the animated Maui was much, much wider than Johnson is in real life.
Judging from the photo, it appears that there are some prosthetics involved. Johnson has gotten bigger as a Hollywood star than he ever was a wrestler, but he was never going to get Maui-sized without a little help. The live-action Maui isn’t nearly as wide as the animated one, but still looks great. Laga’aia looks pretty great as Moana as well, but Johnson’s Maui is definitely what draws the eye.
