What else can he say except, “You’re welcome”?

In a new trailer, Disney has revealed the first look at Dwayne Johnson as Maui in the live-action “Moana” remake. Johnson voiced the once-mighty demigod in the original 2016 animated film, which follows an adventurous teenager named Moana as she embarks on a quest to save her village on the island of Motunui.

Newcomer Catherine Laga’aia plays the titular character in the upcoming live-action film. Auli’i Cravalho, who voiced Moana in both the 2016 original and its 2024 sequel, serves as an executive producer alongside director Thomas Kail, Scott Sheldon and Charles Newirth. Producers include Johnson, Beau Flynn (for FlynnPictureCo), Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia (via their Seven Bucks Productions banner), and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
