Washington DC, Nov. 18 -- The makers have released the first trailer for the live-action remake of 'Moana' starring Cathering Laga'aia and Dwayne Johnson in the lead roles.

Like the original 2016 animated movie of the same name, 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.

Although Johnson reprises his role from the animated film Moana, which was originally played and voiced by Auli'i Cravalho, it is now played by a young newcomer, Laga'aia.

Dwayne 'Rock' Johnson shared the trailer on his Instagram handle on Monday. The film is slated to release in theatres on July 10, 2026.
