Back in April, it was announced that a live-action Moana film was in the works over at Disney. Since then, we’ve been keeping you updated with all the latest news. Now, there’s a new update about the film you might want to know about.

In his typical “The Rock” fashion, Dwayne Johnson, the voice of Maui, just shared an update about the live-action Moana film.

Not only will he be reprising his role as Maui, the demigod of the wind and sea, but we found out that Thomas Kail, the Tony Award-winning director of Broadway’s Hamilton, has been tapped to direct the film.

Although he directed the filmed staged production of Hamilton for Disney+ in 2020, Moana will be Kail’s feature narrative directorial debut. He’s not leaving Broadway though as his production of Sweeney Todd starring Josh Groban and Annaleigh Ashford recently debuted (via The Hollywood Reporter).

That’s the only update we have for you at the moment, but in the meantime, you can learn more about the Moana-inspired attraction coming to EPCOT in the link below.
