In 2016, Disney released the animated movie “Moana” which quickly became a worldwide sensation with its inspiring story, amazing music, and beautiful animation. Now, fans of the movie have just received some exciting news: a live-action version of “Moana” is officially in production!
The announcement was made by Disney CEO, Bob Chapek, during the company’s Investor Day presentation. The live-action version will be directed by Taika Waititi, who is best known for his work on the hit Marvel movies “Thor: Ragnarok” and “Avengers: Endgame”. Waititi will also co-write the screenplay alongside “Crazy Rich Asians” writer Adele Lim.

Disney has not yet revealed any details about the casting, but many fans are hopeful that the studio will cast an actress of Pacific Islander descent in the role of Moana.
The news of a live-action “Moana” has been met with mixed reactions from fans. Some are excited to see their favorite characters come to life on the big screen in a new way, while others are worried that the live-action version will not be able to capture the magic of the original film.
