Moana is preparing for a new adventure in Polynesia

In an exciting development for fans of the beloved animated film, Disney has revealed that “Moana 2” is set to premiere in theaters on November 27. 2024. Initially envisioned as a television series, the project was transformed into a feature film. The sequel of “Moana” (2016) promises to embark on an expansive new journey, taking Moana, Maui, and a newly assembled crew into uncharted and perilous waters, promising an adventure unlike any before.

Under the direction of Dave Derrick Jr., and featuring a rich musical score by Abigail Barlow, Emily Bear and Mark Mancina, the film sets sail for new horizons. However, Lin-Manuel Miranda, known for his memorable contributions to the original soundtrack, will not be returning with new songs for the sequel, adding a layer of fresh anticipation about the musical direction this beloved story will take.

Walt Disney Pictures is also working on a live-action version of the original animated film, in which Dwayne Johnson, who voiced the character of Maui in the original, is expected to appear.
