Disney has announced the production of 'Moana 2', with the original film having achieved over $680 million in global box office revenue and over 1 billion streaming hours on Disney. The sequel's music will be created by the duo behind The Unofficial Bridgerton musical, diverging from Lin-Manuel Miranda's involvement in the first film. The story, once considered for a television series, follows Moana's perilous journey in Oceania, prompted by her ancestors. Dwayne Johnson and Auliʻi Cravalho are in talks to return as Maui and Moana respectively. Additionally, a live-action 'Moana' is also in the works, with an expected delay from its initial June 2025 release date. Bob Iger is reportedly optimistic about the sequel, which will be directed by Dave Derrick Jr. and is being animated in Canada. Dwayne Johnson has provided a casting update for the live-action remake, confirming a lead actress has been cast and Lin-Manuel Miranda's return for the music, directed by Tommy Kail.
