Disney has released a new Moana 2 poster for its highly anticipated sequel to the 2016 animated film.
The latest poster doesn’t show off too much, but does see an older Moana (played by the returning Auli’i Cravalho) on the beach in the background. In the foreground, Maui’s (Dwayne Johnson) fish hook can be seen stuck in the sand alongside an oar.
Moana 2 is set to be directed by David G. Derrick Jr. and will see the return of both Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson, who will reprise their roles as Moana and Maui, respectively. More casting information is unknown at this time.

What do we know about Moana 2?
Walt Disney Company Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger has previously announced that Moana 2 is now in the works. A teaser trailer was also revealed, showing Moana on the beach with a seashell. The sequel is set to release in theaters on Wednesday, November 27, 2024.
“Walt Disney Animation Studios’ epic animated musical Moana 2 takes audiences on an expansive new voyage with Moana, Maui and a brand-new crew of unlikely seafarers,” reads the film‘s synopsis. “After receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana must journey to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced.”
The original film was directed by Ron Clements and John Musker. It was not only a commercial success with a gross of over $600 million, but it also earned positive reviews from critics and earned two Oscar nominations, including Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song.
