For the past few weeks, there are talks of Disney planning to make a live-action Moana film. The studio had already made an animated version in 2016 which became an instant hit. Dwayne Johnson gave his voice to Maui, while Auli’i Cravalho was the voice behind Moana. However, as the plans for a Moana live-action movie come to the surface, 22-year-old, Cravalho will not be reprising her role.
Moana is one of the most successful films of The Brahma Bull and also helped him reach a younger audience. Surprisingly, the fans have another view of this story if DJ returns as Maui and Cravalho doesn’t come back for its live-action remake.

Fans react to if Dwayne Johnson reprises the role of Maui and Auli’i Cravalho doesn’t returns
The Disney film is not a decade old yet and still there are plans of making a live-action film, which has confused the fans. They are speculating Johnson might be the person behind the plan of the remake and hence, the $4 million worth of star Cravalho isn’t reprising her role.
She shared the message through her Instagram about not joining the live-action movie cast. Nevertheless, fans shared their reactions on Twitter as The Hollywood Handle tweeted about the same. Below are some of those reactions by the fans.
Fans slam The Rock playing Maui while Cravalho won’t be reprising her role.
He's looking for a pick me up after Black Adam bombed.

If she’s not going to play Moana but Johnson comes back as Maui then it’ll be the biggest confirmation this was all his idea. https://t.co/mPy8tA7cP0

It’s almost as if a live action Moana, a movie that’s not even 10 YEARS OLD, was a bad idea…

More reactions to Auli’i Cravalho not playing Moana!
Fun fact: no one from the original movie reprised there rolls for the remake, that is until James Earl Jones in The Lion King and Dwain The Rock Johnson in the upcoming Moana

Ohhh you already know Big Dwayne is smirking at that curly wig non-stop, ready to silence everyone who says he looks the same in every film 😭

This fan says it isn’t the fault of Johnson.
She was offered and rejected it because she felt that she wasn't appropriate for the role. She wants appropriate representation.
Hardly a fault of Dwayne Johnson.
Also, I disagree with her, but support her decision. It was kind and thoughtful.

More reactions of the fans bashing the WWE legend.
You think it wasn't, Rockys running scared since Black Adam failed, I've heard rumors that he's returning to fast and furious as well, convenient how he seemed to get over his hatred of Vin Diesel as well pretty easily

The rock didn’t want to get too old and have to watch someone else play maui later on when Disney decided to do a live action so he most def pushed for this to be made.

dwayne the rock johnson could do the funniest thing ever to another massive studio
— 「K-den」 (@Kden21) May 19, 2023
The Rock has not confirmed whether he will come back or not. However, with the success of the animated film, DJ would surely consider a live-action comeback to become Maui this time. Moreover, he made a whopping $20 million in 2016 for voicing the character. Therefore, for a live-action movie, he would likely bag a big amount.

The movie made $643 million worldwide with DJ voicing Maui and Cravalho in the titular role of Moana. Fans would love to see Cravalho in the role, but if she isn’t coming back, everyone will be keen to see who will the studio select to play Moana.
Auli’i Cravalho’s message on Instagram
Cravalho was 14 years old when she voiced Moana in the movie. However, fast-forward nearly seven years later she isn’t keen on reprising her role in the live-action film. A few days back she shared a video on Instagram to address the story.
