As a seasoned cinephile with decades of film-watching under my belt and a penchant for deciphering Hollywood’s most intriguing mysteries, I must say that the recent speculation surrounding Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s body transformation for the live-action Moana has left me both amused and enlightened.
This afternoon, fuzzy images appeared online showing Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in character as Maui during the filming of the live-action Moana movie. His body is adorned with traditional tattoos for the Maui role and he’s even sporting a green leaf skirt! Since Johnson maintains a muscular physique due to his regular training, some fans have debated whether the images truly depict his own body.
Dwayne Johnson’s Moana Transformation Goes Viral
As a cinephile, it seems those sneaky photos have indeed revealed some truth – it appears to be a full-body suit! From the back, Johnson almost didn’t look like himself with what seems to be a zipper or an entrance point tucked neatly along his spine, offering a secret entrance and exit.
Besides the ripple effect visible on his arms and chest, suggesting some artificiality, it’s worth noting that Johnson has recently been seen with a fan, yet his physique remains entirely unaffected.
In my admiration, I can’t help but mention that the images reveal his striking resemblance to a Demigod, with his long, dark cascading tresses and the distinctive whale tooth necklace around his neck. This accessory, known as sisi or wàseisei in Polynesian culture, is not just any adornment; it’s typically worn by individuals of high esteem, such as chiefs, symbolizing their noble status.

As a passionate cinephile, I’m thrilled to share that next weekend, you can catch Maui and Moana’s new adventure in cinemas with the release of Moana 2. This sequel follows the success of the 2016 Disney film, which raked in over $600 million at the global box office. In this installment, we’ll see Moana’s feisty little sister Simea (voiced by Khaleesi Lambert-Tsuda) stepping into the spotlight!

Personally, I find that for my daughters, who identify with Moana due to their multicultural backgrounds, one of the charms of this movie is its ability to reflect the diversity of children worldwide. Boys and girls of all colors can now see themselves mirrored in these characters, and that’s truly a beautiful thing. (Johnson recently shared this sentiment on Good Morning America.)
Currently gracing the silver screen alongside Chris Evans in “Red One”, Johnson’s Hollywood career is thriving and bustling with activity. He has a number of upcoming projects such as the boxing movie titled “The Smashing Machine“, ensuring that his schedule remains full.
Beyond just hinting at it, he’s been playfully suggesting a show at next year’s WWE WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, though it’s subject to his filming schedule. Earlier this year, there was news that the live-action production would experience a delay, moving its start date from June 2026 to July instead.
