As the highly anticipated Moana 2 prepares for its release, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson encourages fans to engage with the movie’s musical moments fully. At the U.K. premiere of the upcoming Disney sequel, the actor, who reprises his role as the beloved demigod Maui, he urged moviegoers to enjoy the film by singing along to the music.
Johnson told the BBC, “You’ve paid for your ticket, and you’re in a musical—if you’re feeling it, sing! Especially if you love music. That’s what makes the experience fun.” His words reflect the energy and joy the original Moana and the sequel bring audiences.
Alongside Johnson, Auli’i Cravalho, who voices Moana, took a moment to reflect on the impact her character has had since the original film’s release. She admitted that while she knew the role would change her life, she hadn’t expected the depth of connection the character would foster with audiences around the world.
“I knew it would change my life, but it seems to have also changed many other people’s lives as well,” Cravalho shared.
The actress also shared heartwarming experiences of meeting young fans who excitedly recognize her as Moana. “Sometimes, when I meet kids at that special age, I feel like Santa. They look at me and say, ‘You’re Moana!’ And they believe it! It really warms my heart.”
Moana 2 is set to hit theaters on November 27, bringing new adventures, music, and inspiring moments for fans old and new. With the promise of unforgettable songs and beloved characters, the sequel is poised to continue the legacy of its predecessor, capturing the hearts of audiences around the world.
