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 wasn’t just red; it was practically glowing as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Auli’i 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 Maui—the shapeshifting demigod with a charm level that defies mortal comprehension. Meanwhile, Auli’i Cravalho, a mere 24 years old and clearly aging backward, once again voices the unstoppable Moana. Together, they’re here to prove that the ocean calls…and texts…and leaves about 15 missed FaceTime attempts if you don’t 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, it’s not just about restoring the heart of Te Fiti or battling shiny crabs—nope, Moana’s ancestors have slid into her DMs from the afterlife with a cryptic “Hey girl, we need you.” Next thing you know, she’s assembling a crew of quirky seafarers to sail through waters so treacherous even Maui’s eyebrows look worried. Spoiler alert: Expect heartwarming lessons, epic songs, and probably a lot of scenes where you yell, “JUST LISTEN TO MOANA, SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE’S DOING!”
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 water—literally, in the case of those poor films opening the same weekend.
Fashion Alert: Auli’i Cravalho showed up looking like royalty from an underwater gala. She rocked an Oscar de la Renta dress that probably costs more than Maui’s 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 let’s be honest, he could wear a potato sack and still look like he’s hosting the Oscars.
Moana says the ocean chose her—well, it looks like the box office has too! 🌊
