Disney has made an exciting addition to its theatrical roster by including the live-action film, Moana. This decision was influenced by the Writers Guild of America’s strike, which paused production on some features and allowed Disney to focus on post-production and visual effects for their upcoming films.
Previously, an untitled movie was scheduled for release on July 2, 2025. However, this slot has now been filled by the live-action Moana film, and the release date has been shifted to June 27, 2025. During Disney’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders Webcast, Dwayne Johnson confirmed his involvement in the project, emphasizing that it’s still in the early stages of development.
The animated feature of Moana followed the adventurous teen, Moana, who sets out on a voyage to save her people after being chosen by the ocean. Along the way, she encounters the once-mighty demigod, Maui, who helps her become a master way-finder while discovering her own identity. The live-action adaptation is expected to capture the same magic and heart as the animated version.
In terms of casting, the movie features an ensemble cast, including Dwayne Johnson, Auliʻi Cravalho, Rachel House, Temuera Morrison, Jermaine Clement, Nicolle Scherzinger, and Alan Tudyk. While specifics about the live-action film are still unknown, Johnson’s announcement suggests that it will encompass the elements that made the animated movie so beloved. Although Cravalho won’t reprise her role as Moana, she will be involved as a producer. Following the success of The Little Mermaid’s live-action adaptation, audiences are eager to see how Disney brings Moana to the big screen.
Currently, there are no further details available about the project. Moana is set to hit theaters on June 27, 2025. Stay tuned for more updates.
