    Dwayne Johnson was a part of the “Moana 2” cast but is looking forward to its premiere just like many other Disney fans. The actor, in a recent interview with E! Stated that the upcoming sequel to the 2016 animated Disney film will go far, mainly because the central theme speaks directly to young women and girls.

    “I think that the main thing about ‘Moana’ is this idea of female empowerment,” Johnson said during his conversation with E! News at the New York City premiere of his movie “Red One” on November 11. The former WWE wrestler believes the animation’s message is for everybody, “even if you’re not part of Polynesian culture.”

    “It’s this idea that what people like to do—especially to young girls—is kind of constrain them,” Johnson continued, “and pretzel them into, ‘You can only be so much.’ But in ‘Moana 2,’ you can actually be anything you want.”

    Notably, Dwayne Johnson reprises his role as Maui in “Moana 2,” an opportunity he was glad came his way again. The 52-year-old couldn’t pass up the offer because he never really hung up his hook after the first installment.

    He believes Maui has done “his best to empower Moana to look beyond the reef. “Whatever it is you want to do, you can do it,” he added of the film’s message.

    Dwayne Johnson on the Amount of Work That Went Into the Production

    Another reason Dwayne Johnson is so proud of what they have accomplished in “Moana 2” is because of the amount of work the cast and movie crew put into creating the masterpiece.

    Johnson has already seen “Moana 2,” and he is satisfied they accomplished what they were going for. In the past, he teased how hard the cast and crew worked on the sequel, telling E! News, “We went for it.” According to him, the general sentiment was to make the sequel as great as the first installment. To do that, they doubled down on what the new movie could be and really went for it.

    Another reason he is happy about what they accomplished with “Moana 2″ is how it makes him feel as a girl dad who wants the best for his daughters. The actor is dad to daughters Jasmine, 8, and Tiana, 6, with wife Lauren Hashian, and daughter Simone, 23, with ex-Danny Garcia. 

    The pair first crossed paths on the set of “The Game Plan” in 2006 but they didn’t start dating until the following year. They were in a relationship for 12 years before eventually getting married in 2019. 

    Will The Rock Appear in “Moana 2?”

    Yes, Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, will reprise his role as Maui in the hit animation. The famous actor has been working on his singing skills not just for “Moana 2,” but also for the live-action version of the franchise, where he’ll portray Maui once more. 

    He has even been known to practice in front of his fans, noting the “number one” request he often receives from them is to sing a few bars from Maui’s “You’re Welcome.” “I’m going to sing in keys that don’t exist,” he joked, “but I think we got a shot.”

    What Is Maui From “Moana 2” Age?

    There is not much information out there about Maui’s origins. But the lore claims his birth occurred centuries before the film’s timeline, so he is believed to be thousands of years old. In contrast, Moana is likely to be between 19 to 20 years old since she was 16 in the 2016 movie. This is reflected in her more mature and overall different appearance in the second installment.
