Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that fans of the hit animated film “Moana” can expect a sequel to hit theaters in November. Titled “Moana 2,” the movie was originally planned as a television series but will now be a full-length feature film. The story follows the titular character, Moana, as she embarks on a perilous mission to the far seas of Oceania after receiving a call from her ancestors.
The film promises to be an “adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced,” and Disney CEO Bob Iger expressed excitement at the prospect of bringing more of Moana and Maui to fans. “Moana remains an incredibly popular franchise and we can’t wait to give you more of Moana and Maui,” Iger said in a statement.
“Moana 2” will be directed by Dave Derrick Jr., with music by Grammy winners Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, Mark Mancina, and Grammy nominee Opetaia Foa’i. While details about the voice actors have not been released, the first film was a massive success, earning over $680 million at the global box office as well as over 1 billion hours of streaming on Disney+.
In addition to the sequel, work is also underway on a live-action adaptation of “Moana,” with Dwayne Johnson, who provided the voice for Maui in the original film, involved in the project. Fans of the beloved characters and music from “Moana” can look forward to more adventures and songs from the upcoming sequel, “Moana 2,” set to hit theaters on November 27th.
