He signed off, ‘See you in theaters November 27th ~ Maui, out.’
Each post has so far racked up more than 200,000 likes each from excited future moviegoers.
The upcoming second Moana film was announced this past February, with 23-year-old actress Auli’i Cravalho in talks to return as the beloved title character alongside Johnson’s Maui.
Then, in August it was confirmed that they both would reprise their roles.
The sequel takes place three years after the 2016 original, with Moana ‘on an expansive journey in search of people beyond the shores of Motunui,’ according to a synopsis.
‘Joined by Maui and a brand-new crew of unlikely seafarers, 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 summary continued.
The cast also features Rachel House (Moana’s Grandma Tala), Temuera Morrison (Moana’s father Chief Tui) and Nicole Scherzinger (Moana’s mother Sina), plus Hualālai Chung, David Fane and Rose Matafeo, Awhimai Fraser, Gerald Ramsey and Khaleesi Lambert-Tsuda as Moana’s little sister Simea.
The forthcoming feature was directed by David Derrick Jr., Jason Hand and Dana Ledoux Miller.

It was produced by Christina Chen and Yvett Merino.
Moana 2 features music by Grammy winners Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, Grammy nominee Opetaia Foa’i, and three-time Grammy winner Mark Mancina.
‘Exciting and inspiring casting news as we begin to bring together our live action MOANA family,’ Johnson wrote in an earlier post displaying headshots of the cast alongside their corresponding animations.
Moana is close to The Rock’s heart as a Samoan citizen.
‘It’s our deepest honor to share the legends, songs, dances and traditions of our Polynesian culture with all of you and your families around the world,’ he proclaimed on social media in July.

He went on to announce that production on the live-action Moana was set to begin in August, and that #MOANALiveAction is scheduled to premiere in theaters July 10, 2026.
‘This story is my culture, and this story is emblematic of our people’s grace and warrior strength. I wear this culture proudly on my skin and in my soul,’ he said of Moana.
‘There is no better world for us to honor the story of our people, our passion and our purpose than through the realm of music and dance, which is at the core of who we are as Polynesian people,’ he added passionately.
