Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson On Maui’s Powerful Lesson In Moana 2: 'Asking For Help Is A Superpower'
As the release date for Moana 2 approaches, anticipation is building for the much-awaited sequel to Disney’s 2016 hit Moana. At the heart of this journey is the central message of courage, vulnerability, and the importance of asking for help—an idea powerfully conveyed by Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, who voices the demigod Maui. In a recent interview, Johnson emphasized the significance of his character’s development in the sequel, reflecting on Maui’s personal growth and the deeper lessons embedded in the story. Johnson beautifully ties this to his own realizations: “When I got to Maui, I was like, ‘Okay, I know who this is.’ This guy who is very presentational, who puts on a show, who loves to hold court, sing and dance, and make people feel good. But there’s a lot that’s brewing deep down that, eventually, he is going to have to contend with.” Johnson hopes that Maui’s journey will encourage viewers to embrace the idea that even the strongest individuals need support.
