Dwayne Johnson Says Moana 2 Sends Empowering Message to Young Girls

As a passionate fan and a parent of two young girls myself, I wholeheartedly resonate with Dwayne Johnson‘s excitement for Moana 2. The message of female empowerment that this movie embodies is not only important but also universally relevant. As a father, I understand the desire to break free from societal constraints and allow my daughters to dream big, just like Moana does in the film.


Dwayne Johnson is excited to see how far Moana 2 can go. 

As a die-hard fan, I can confidently say that I firmly believe the next installment of “Black Adam” will reach new heights, given its powerful resonance with young women and girls. This sequel, much like the 2016 animated Disney film, is set to touch hearts in a profound way.

Dwayne expressed to TopMob News during the New York City premiere of his film Red One on Nov. 11 that he believes the core theme of Moana is empowering women, and this notion reminds us of the question we often ask: ‘What lies beyond the reef?’

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I wholeheartedly echo the sentiments expressed by the esteemed figure once known for his wrestling prowess, asserting that this particular message transcends cultural boundaries, even if one isn’t deeply rooted in Polynesian heritage.

In my perspective, it’s a notion that often limits individuals, particularly young girls, to certain boundaries and molds them into believing they can only achieve a specific amount. However, in the upcoming movie, Moana 2, you have the freedom to be whatever your heart desires. (For further insights from Dwayne, don’t forget to catch TopMob News tonight at 11 p.m.)

The opportunity to portray Maui once more was something the 52-year-old found difficult to resist. Indeed, he cherishes the way Maui encourages Moana to see beyond the confines of the reef.

He added of the film’s message, “Whatever it is you want to do, you can do it.” 

Absolutely, Dwayne Johnson, father of daughters Jasmine (8) and Tiana (6) with wife Lauren Hashian, as well as Simone (23) with ex-wife Dany Garcia, has had the opportunity to watch Moana 2 before its release on November 27. This means he can attest that the film’s message is clear and strong, and he is incredibly pleased with how it turned out.

Previously, he had hinted at the intense effort put into the sequel by the cast and team, saying to TopMob News, “We gave our all.” Regarding their mindset, he pointed out that when creating a sequel for such a cherished film, the only choice was to increase the stakes and truly strive for excellence.

Dwayne Johnson, in addition to his film roles, has been honing his vocal talents not only for “Moana 2”, but also for the live-action adaptation of “Moana”, where he will reprise his role as Maui again.

Occasionally, he has the opportunity to perform before his audience, with the frequent demand being for him to croon a bit of Maui’s song titled “You’re Welcome.

“I’m going to sing in keys that don’t exist,” he joked, “but I think we got a shot.”
