Days before the live-action remake arrives in theaters, Disney has confirmed that the Moana franchise isn't slowing down — according to Inside the Magic, the studio has broken its silence on Moana 3, signaling that Moana's voyaging days are far from over.
Why This Is Huge News for Moana Fans
With a live-action remake about to introduce a whole new generation to Motunui, the announcement of a third animated chapter raises some genuinely exciting questions. Will Auli'i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson return to their iconic roles? Could new characters open the door for fresh casting conversations? And with Moana 2 having already expanded the mythology in significant ways, Moana 3 has the potential to be the most ambitious entry in the franchise yet.
For fancasters, this is a golden opportunity. New sequels mean new characters, new dynamics, and new debates — exactly the kind of thing the myCast community lives for.
What myCast Fans Are Already Saying
The myCast community has been engaged with the Moana universe for a while now, and the existing fan cast data gives us some fascinating early signals about where fan sentiment sits.
Across two active fan cast stories, one clear trend emerges: Dwayne Johnson is the undisputed fan choice for Maui, pulling votes in the Moana fan cast story as the top pick for the demigod. Meanwhile, over in the second Moana story, Cooper Andrews has made a strong case as an alternative Maui with 3 votes — a genuinely intriguing pick that shows fans are thinking creatively about who could bring that larger-than-life energy. Maia Kealoha leads that same story with 4 votes as Toddler Moana, which is a sweet nod to the original film's early sequences.
The supporting cast choices are equally inspired. Nicole Scherzinger has earned votes for Sina across multiple stories, which feels like a no-brainer — her vocal power and Polynesian heritage make her a fan-favorite fit. getting votes for Hei Hei the Rooster is exactly the kind of playful, self-aware fancasting this community does best. And shoutout to the fan who cast as Tamatoa — that's inspired, given how perfectly his comedic timing would suit the self-obsessed giant crab.
