Moana 2 has officially landed in the UK, and it brought enough star power to light up all of Leicester Square (and maybe power a small village while they’re at it). The carpet wasnโt just red; it was practically glowing as Dwayne โThe Rockโ Johnson and Auliโi Cravalho arrived at Cineworld Leicester Square on Sunday (November 24) in London. If you thought the weather was chilly, these two brought enough fire to melt the Thames.
The Rock, at the very casual age of 52, is back as Mauiโthe shapeshifting demigod with a charm level that defies mortal comprehension. Meanwhile, Auliโi Cravalho, a mere 24 years old and clearly aging backward, once again voices the unstoppable Moana. Together, theyโre here to prove that the ocean callsโฆand textsโฆand leaves about 15 missed FaceTime attempts if you donโt pick up.
In this much-anticipated sequel, Moana 2 reunites our dynamic duo three years after the events of the first film. But this time, itโs not just about restoring the heart of Te Fiti or battling shiny crabsโnope, Moanaโs ancestors have slid into her DMs from the afterlife with a cryptic โHey girl, we need you.โ Next thing you know, sheโs assembling a crew of quirky seafarers to sail through waters so treacherous even Mauiโs eyebrows look worried. Spoiler alert: Expect heartwarming lessons, epic songs, and probably a lot of scenes where you yell, โJUST LISTEN TO MOANA, SHE KNOWS WHAT SHEโS DOING!โ
Set your sails and your calendars, because Moana 2 is ready to splash into theaters on November 27. Experts predict it will blow every other movie out of the waterโliterally, in the case of those poor films opening the same weekend.
Fashion Alert: Auliโi Cravalho showed up looking like royalty from an underwater gala. She rocked an Oscar de la Renta dress that probably costs more than Mauiโs entire tattoo collection, Christian Louboutin shoes so stunning they likely have their own agent, and jewels from Graziela, Tiffany, and Effy that screamed, “Yes, I AM the moment.” Meanwhile, The Rock kept it classic, though letโs be honest, he could wear a potato sack and still look like heโs hosting the Oscars.
Moana says the ocean chose herโwell, it looks like the box office has too! ๐
