Moana (Live-Action)

It's definitely theatrical. Dwayne Johnson wouldn't have agreed to a streaming movie.

Most likely, it will be delayed. They haven't even cast anyone yet, right? Except for Johnson as Maui.

I used to think the same for tom hanks, but here we are. The landscape has changed quickly.

Most likely, it will be delayed. They haven't even cast anyone yet, right? Except for Johnson as Maui.

A lot of times casting isn't announced for a while, sometimes even after filming.

The live-action remake is getting delayed.

What happens to the live-action version of Moana, which Johnson is not only starring in but also producing under his Seven Bucks label? Does it stick to its June 27, 2025 theatrical release? No, it won’t, but Disney needs to back-fill that date with another theatrical release. Even more than that, the studio isn’t even in production on the live-action version.

The live-action Moana, announced a year ago by Iger and Johnson, is slated to hit theaters in June 27, 2025. Now, it is almost certain to depart that date to give both films space, according to insiders.

Johnson’s getting $20 million plus bonuses for the live-action Moana, which will now be bumped from its summer 2025 release date.

Dwayne Johnson Confirms the Live-Action 'Moana' Movie Has Found Its Star (Exclusive)

"One of the exciting things about that was actually finding our Moana and how exciting that has been," he told ET. "The global search to find our Moana -- which -- between you and I, we found her -- not gonna tell you yet. [It's] very exciting."

"Lin Manuel Miranda's coming back. We're doing the music. Tommy Kail is our director, who directed Hamilton," he said. "You put everybody together and you want to put the best team together and then you really go for it."

In the casting call for Gramma Tala actors auditioning for the role need to be "strong singers". Given her character had very little singing in the original and arguably not the kind that requires a lot of skill, do you think this means remake she will get a new song in the remake?

[Disney's Divinity]

Sort of makes sense that any new songs they might come up with could involve her. Maybe a duet between her and Moana at the start of the film (or a solo)?

[Lele]

I find it surprising that they will release the live action so close to Moana 2. I guess we will see if it plays in its favor or not.
