Moana, voiced by Auli'i Cravalho, is seen in her usual brave and adventurous pose in the first poster. Dwayne Johnson’s Maui features in the next poster, with his signature tattoos and confident smile, promising another thrilling adventure for the demigod.

Posters featuring Moana's pot-bellied pet pig and best friend Pua and Matangi, the antagonist of the film, were also dropped.

Directed by Dave Derrick Jr, Moana 2 will take fans on a new adventure with Moana, Maui and a group of unusual sailors. After Moana receives a call from her ancestors, she embarks on a journey to the treacherous waters of Oceania for an adventure “unlike anything she’s ever faced”.

The soundtrack for the upcoming film is composed by Grammy winners Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, Grammy nominee Opetaia Foa’i and three-time Grammy winner Mark Mancina.

Amassing over USD 680 million worldwide, Moana, released in 2016, was a box-office hit. Auli'i Cravalho, who voiced Moana in the original film, is set to reprise her role for the sequel.

The 2016 film follows the journey of a spirited Polynesian teenager Moana, who sets sail across the ocean to save her island from a curse. On the way, she teams up with Maui, overcomes obstacles, and learns about her identity as a seafarer. To bring back harmony to her people and the ocean, Moana decides to restore the heart of Te Fiti, a goddess with the power to create life.
