Disney’s 2016 animated musical Moana and its 2024 sequel, featuring Johnson as the voice of Maui, were huge box office successes.

The live-action remake, directed by Thomas Kail and first announced in April 2023, includes original voice star Auli‘i Cravalho and composer Lin-Manuel Miranda among its producers.
