Dwayne Johnson — the voice of Maui, the tattooed demigod with the big personality in Disney Animation's "Moana" films — took the stage to a standing ovation at Disney's D23 to introduce "Moana and Maui's most exciting adventure yet" and the new "Moana 2" trailer as part of the legendary animation studio's lineup.

Set three years after the events of the Oscar-nominated 2016 original film, “Moana 2” follows Moana and her crew in search of the lost island of Motufetu, which once connected the ocean but is now hidden by a jealous God of Storms.
Johnson emphasized the idea of "believing that there's more, and having the courage to go for more… I know what it means to me, as a man of Polynesian culture, I'm half black and half Samoan, and I know what it means to Auli'I (Cravalho, the voice of Moana) as well."
In the trailer, we see Moana take on her role as a big sister, mentoring her 3-year-old sister Simea. Earlier in the presentation, Cravalho said that Simea is Moana's "whole world."
