Dwayne Johnson took to the beaches of Hawaii with her two young daughters to share big news on Instagram and other socials via video: there’s going to be a live-action remake of “Moana”! The Rock even explained who will be back.... everyone.
One tidbit he dropped during the video was that his character Maui was based on his grandfather High Chief Peter Maivia.
“Humbled to say we’re bringing Moana’s beautiful story to the live-action big screen," said Dwayne in the video, "I’m honored to partner with Disney to tell our story through the realm of music and dance, which at the core is who we are as Polynesian people.”
There’s no timeline yet for the remake, but Johnson is confirmed to return. The original “Moana” debuted in 2016 and raked in more than $680 million for Disney.
