After such an intense event as WrestleMania, many people would prefer to take a well-earned vacation, but Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson showed once more why he’s a force to be reckoned with. The Rock left the ring in Philadelphia and quickly traveled to the glitter of Las Vegas for Disney’s CinemaCon 2024 discussion. There, to the astonishment of the crowd, he unveiled the first look at Moana 2.
The Rock made a surprise cameo at the event and looked amazing as he shared his personal connection to the character of Maui, which is firmly entrenched in his Polynesian roots. Johnson emphasized the importance of using Maui to represent his own grandfather and the significant influence the character has had on his life.
The Rock teased fans with information on the upcoming sequel, saying there would be “all new crew, all new setting, and of course, all new songs,” indicating an intriguing and novel turn in the Moana story. The footage featured a glimpse of Moana setting out on a fresh adventure across the ocean, accompanied by the comical antics of her trusted companion, HeiHei the chicken, despite the notable absence of Maui himself.
