Dwayne Johnson Surprises CinemaCon to Debut ‘Moana 2’ First Footage, New Song Teased in Colorful Clip


Disney revealed an early look at "Moana 2" at CinemaCon.

After all, the studio is revisiting the island of Montunui, where “Moana” takes place, a lot sooner than movie theaters were expecting. The follow-up was initially commissioned as a television series for Disney+ but it was retooled into a feature film after executives were reportedly impressed by the footage. Auli’i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson are reprising their voice roles in the animated “ Moana 2.” First-time director Dave Derrick Jr., whose animation credits include “Raya and the Last Dragon” and “Encanto,” is taking over filmmaking duties from Disney veterans John Musker and Ron Clements.
