Disney has released the first trailer for the live-action remake of “Moana,” starring Catherine Laga‘aia as the titular character.
Like the original 2016 animated movie, the live-action film will once again star Dwayne Johnson as Maui, a once-mighty demigod who aids the adventurous young teenager on a quest to save her island and its people.
Though Johnson reprises his role from the animated films, Moana is now played by young newcomer Laga’aia.
First announced at a shareholder meeting in April 2023, the live-action “Moana” marks the tightest turnaround between an animated Disney film’s original release and the live-action remake: The original “Moana” will be barely 10 years old when the live-action reimagining hits theaters July 10, 2026.
