A new trailer for Moana 2 has been released, and it looks promising. The sequel will pick up three years after the original, following the Polynesian heroine and her family of Montunui.
The trailer opens with Moana returning home from a three-day sea journey, where she is wholesomely greeted by her family—especially her younger sister, Simea, the young girl seems just as adventurous as Moana herself. As the trailer unfolds, we learn that Moana has discovered an object connected to an ancient island and some new gods. With a compelling message from her ancestors, Moana embarks on a new journey to lift a curse and reconnect with these people.
Fans will be thrilled to know that the powerful demigod Maui is back to help Moana. Their dynamic is sure to bring plenty of action and laughs, and we even catch glimpses of them battling monsters and gods along the way.
It’s clear from the trailer that Moana’s sister, Simea, will play an important role in the story. Her introduction as a curious and strong-minded character hints at the upcoming generation of Montunui, with Simea representing the future of her people.
The trailer also teases the new villain, Matangi, and fans are already speculating about how this mysterious character will tie into the plot.
Directed by David Derrick Jr., with Jason Hand and Dana Ledoux Miller on board, the film is set to release on November 27, 2024. Producers Christina Chen and Yvett Merino will undoubtedly capture the magic of this Polynesian world once again.
The returning cast includes Auli’i Cravalho, Dwayne Johnson, Alan Tudyk, Rachel House, and Temuera Morrison. On the music side, Grammy winners Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, Grammy nominee Opetaia Foaʻi, and three-time Grammy winner Mark Mancina promise an epic soundtrack.
