Dwayne Johnson to be in two upcoming Disney movies

When Disney first teased at its upcoming animated feature Moana, I was instantly hooked. It didn’t matter that I knew little to nothing about the movie, the name said it all. It was clearly going to have some Hawaiian/Polynesian influence and that was enough for me. As news has trickled out about the team working on the music (Ron Clements and John Musker, famous for their work on movies such as Aladdin and The Princess and the Frog), the plot (about a young Polynesian woman who sets out across the Pacific) to the news about another major character, Maui, the news has only amplified my excitement.

Therefore when I recently found out that Maui was going to be played by none other than Dwayne Johnson it was just another reason to be reaffirmed that this movie can’t come out soon enough. And now it appears that Dwayne Johnson will be in yet another upcoming Disney movie, this one being based on the Jungle Cruise. Although the Jungle Cruise movie (currently untitled) does not have a release date as of yet, you can expect to see Moana released in November of 2016.
