Moana Live Action Unveils Dwayne Johnson as Maui
Disney’s push into live action remakes continues with “Moana,” and the first preview is already drawing attention.
The studio revealed Dwayne Johnson as Maui, giving audiences a glimpse of how the animated character will appear in a more realistic setting.
The design stays close to the original, but the tone feels different.
The film revisits the story of Moana and her journey across the ocean, a narrative that became a major success when it first released on November 23, 2016.
As the upcoming Moana live action film nears its July 10, 2026 release, fans remain divided.
Some welcome the remake, while others question whether the story needed a new version at all.
