Moana's leading lady talks about live action for the first time.

Dwayne Johnson seems to be the King Midas of Hollywood these days. The actor has dedicated himself to explore his facet as an executive and put all his financial resources at the service of the projects he is interest in. He already did it with Black Adam and now he would try the same with Moana. It should be mention that in the animatec version, he was the one to voice Maui.

Now, The Rock's plans go much further. The idea he has is to recreate the story of the young Hawaiian girl and transfer it to live-action. It is unknown if he will want to raise a whole saga with the curious and interesting plot of the Disney film. In fact, no one knows if the live-action adaptation will follow the same story or if it will be a sequel.

However, it is not all good news and it seems that Disney will have to find another princess for Moana. Auli'i Cravalho has revealed that she will not be reprising her role as Moana in the upcoming live-action adaptation. In fact, through a video shared on social media, the actress mentioned that she fully supported the upcoming film's initiative to highlight a more diverse cast, honoring the cultural roots portrayed in the animated film. The decision made by the artist will allow the studio to provide a faithful representation of the character, as her identity and background are crucial to the heroine's journey. However, the musical theme will be hampered, as Cravalho also lent her voice to the songs, which will likely be repeated.

In addition, in the video, the celebrity wished success to the next actress to fill the role and that she may have the right spirit to do it.
