As a movie enthusiast with a deep appreciation for cultural representation and storytelling, I am genuinely thrilled about the upcoming live-action Moana film. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s connection to the project as a Samoan citizen adds an authenticity that resonates deeply within me. His passion and commitment to honoring the Polynesian culture are evident in his words, and it’s clear that this story is not just another movie for him but a tribute to his heritage.


On Tuesday, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson playfully hinted at the approaching Moana sequel which is set to release next month, on his Instagram account.

52-year-old entertainer with 395 million followers uploaded a fresh movie and its trailer to his account, this individual who motivated a fan to shed 60 lbs previously.

Team up with Disney for an extraordinary journey; the sequel to Moana hits the big screen on November 27th, using the hashtag #Moana2!

As an overjoyed admirer, let me exclaim, “Hey, hey! I’m buzzing with excitement because Moana’s return is just around the corner! Can you feel it? The mana is strong as we prepare for MOANA2! Here’s a sneak peek at the unforgettable voyage on and beneath the ocean that we embark on together.

He signed off, ‘See you in theaters November 27th ~ Maui, out.’

Each post has so far racked up more than 200,000 likes each from excited future moviegoers.

Back in February, it was revealed that a sequel to the popular movie “Moana” is in the works, and there have been discussions about bringing back 23-year-old actress Auli’i Cravalho for another portrayal of the cherished title character, with Dwayne Johnson potentially reprising his role as Maui.

Then, in August it was confirmed that they both would reprise their roles.

Three years after the 2016 film, Moana embarks on a broad voyage to find people living beyond the coast of Motunui, as suggested by the storyline.

Embarking on this incredible voyage with the demigod Maui and a fresh team of unexpected sailors, I, Moana, find myself venturing towards the farthest reaches of Oceania and into treacherous, forgotten waters for an adventure that surpasses anything I’ve ever encountered before.

In addition to Rachel House playing the role of Moana’s grandmother Tala, Temuera Morrison portrays Moana’s father Chief Tui, while Nicole Scherzinger takes on the part of Moana’s mother Sina. Furthermore, Hualālai Chung, David Fane, Rose Matafeo, Awhimai Fraser, Gerald Ramsey and Khaleesi Lambert-Tsuda make appearances as Moana’s younger sister Simea.

The forthcoming feature was directed by David Derrick Jr., Jason Hand and Dana Ledoux Miller.

It was produced by Christina Chen and Yvett Merino.

In the upcoming film Moana 2, the music is created by Grammy Award winners Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, Grammy Award nominee Opetaia Foa’i, and three-time Grammy Award winner Mark Mancina.

In a prior post, Johnson shared enthusiastic and motivating updates about our real-life MOANA team, using pictures of the cast members side by side with their animated counterparts.

Moana is close to The Rock’s heart as a Samoan citizen.

In great respect, we are delighted to pass on to you and your global families our cherished Polynesian stories, melodies, dances, and customs,” he expressed on social media last July.

It was revealed that the start of filming for the live-action adaptation of Moana will take place in August, with the movie slated to hit theaters on July 10, 2026, as indicated by the hashtag #MOANALiveAction.

He stated that the tale of Moana symbolizes his heritage, reflecting both the elegance and the powerful spirit of our tribe. He carries this culture with a sense of pride, not just on his physical body, but also deep within his spirit.

In a heartfelt manner, he emphasized that there’s no more fitting way to celebrate our history, our enthusiasm, and our reason for being than by expressing ourselves through music and dance, which are integral parts of our Polynesian identity.
