Following the recent release of The Little Mermaid, another seafaring Disney Princess' animated film is set to get the live-action treatment. As Dwayne Johnson announced in April, 2016’s Moana is getting a remake, per an ongoing trend from the House of Mouse to reimagine audience favorites. The latest news about the movie is an official release date, announced by Maui himself, and it's sooner than you'd think.
Dwayne Johnson, who is set to reprise the role of Maui in live-action and is a producer on the film, took to Instagram to share when Disney fans can expect the Moana remake: June 27, 2025. That’s right, we can expect the movie just two years from now. The date will be a year and a half shy of the decade anniversary of the animated Moana, which hit theaters on November 23, 2016.
