Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Lin-Manuel Miranda will not return to co-write songs on ‘MOANA 2’.
While not officially confirmed, it’s strongly hinted that Auli’i Cravalho will reprise her role as Moana. Adding to the excitement, the sequel will feature new musical compositions from the talented duo of Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, alongside Opetaia Foa’i and Mark Mancina.
Meanwhile, Disney also has plans for a live-action adaptation of Moana, slated for release in 2025.
The Walt Disney Company Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger announced today that Moana 2, Disney Animation’s all-new feature-length sequel to 2016’s Oscar-nominated film, will be released in theaters in 2024.
“Moana remains an incredibly popular franchise,” said Iger. “And we can’t wait to give you more of Moana and Maui when Moana 2 comes to theaters this November.”
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.
Directed by Dave Derrick Jr. with music by Grammy® winners Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, Grammy nominee Opetaia Foa’i, and three-time Grammy winner Mark Mancina, Moana 2 opens in theaters on Nov. 27, 2024.
