Moana star Auli'i Cravalho has confirmed she won’t be back for the upcoming live-action remake. While the actor, who voiced the young girl in the 2016 movie, remains an executive producer on the film, she shared a statement on Instagram confirming she won’t star.
"When I was cast as Moana at 14, it wonderfully changed my life and started my career," she told fans. "In this live-action retelling, I will not be reprising the role. I believe it is absolutely vital that casting accurately represents the characters and stories we want to tell."
