The trailer for Disney’s “Moana 2” is here, featuring the voices of Auli’i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson. Per The Wrap, the sequel takes place three years after the original film, with both Moana and Maui returning (voiced by original film stars Cravalho and Johnson, respectively).
Moana 2 is a sequel to the 2016 film Moana, which follows Moana (Cravalho), the daughter of a village chief in ancient Polynesia, as she seeks out the demigod Maui (Johnson) to help save her island’s reef. Johnson, 52, took to Instagram earlier this month to share pictures of his daughter Jasmine, 8, accompanying him to a recording session for Moana 2, writing in the caption: “That’s an official wrap (for now) on MAUI’s portion of our upcoming MOANA 2,” he captioned the photos of Jasmine watching him work and taking photos of him. “As you see I had the greatest motivation to help me push thru to keep me strong . The more down this windy road of life I go, the more I realize that my greatest and most comforting inspiration and joy, is being loved by my daughters. I have a feeling this little one already knows that about her daddy.”
The trailer for Moana 2 shows Moana and Maui reunite three years after the events of the first film as Moana sets sail on a new adventure. An official film synopsis reads: “Three years since her first voyage, Moana is on an expansive journey in search of people beyond the shores of Motunui. Joined by Maui and a brand-new crew of unlikely seafarers, Moana must journey to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced.”
