In a fresh TV commercial, the song “We’re Back,” from the upcoming movie sequel of Moana, takes center stage. This summer at D23, it was first introduced. The film brings together Moana and Maui once more, with the story continuing not long after the original film’s events, delving deeper into Moana’s expanding influence within her community. Originally conceived as a Disney+ series, Moana 2 sees the return of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson alongside Auli’i Cravalho. The next few years for major motion pictures have been uncertain, but there’s optimism for Moana 2, particularly following the success of Disney productions such as Inside Out 2 (from Pixar) and Deadpool & Wolverine (under Marvel Studios).

Additionally, there are interchangeable hands for both figures and a backpack to carry essential items.

I’ve enjoyed playing Mortal Kombat 1 multiple times since last year due to its impressive roster and engaging fighting mechanics. With the release of the expansion, Khaos Reigns, players should anticipate more of what they already love about the game, as well as additional features. Right?
