Disney fans are in for a treat as the highly anticipated sequel to the 2016 animated hit film Moana is set to hit theaters this November. Auli'i Cravalho, the talented voice behind the beloved character Moana, took to Instagram to share the exciting news of her return to the role.
In a recent post, Cravalho confirmed that she will be reprising her role as Moana in the upcoming sequel. The announcement comes on the heels of Disney Animation's revelation that Moana 2 is scheduled for release later this year.
The sequel promises to take audiences on a new adventure with Moana, Maui, and a fresh crew of seafarers. The storyline follows Moana as she embarks on a perilous journey into uncharted waters after a call from her wayfinding ancestors.
Directed by Dave Derrick Jr. and featuring music by a talented team including Abigail Barlow, Emily Bear, Opetaia Foa’i, and Mark Mancina, Moana 2 is expected to captivate fans with its captivating visuals and enchanting soundtrack.
Notably, Dwayne Johnson, who portrays Maui in the original film, announced plans for a live-action adaptation of Moana. While Johnson is set to reprise his role as Maui in the live-action version, Cravalho will serve as an executive producer, paving the way for a new actor to voice Maui in the animated sequel.
Cravalho's portrayal of Moana has resonated with audiences worldwide, with her character's strength and determination serving as a source of inspiration. Fans can look forward to experiencing Moana's story in a fresh and exciting way when Moana 2 sails into theaters on November 27.
