After Black Adam, Warner Bros. abruptly released Dwayne Johnson, leaving fans wondering what he will do next.
Yesterday, he gave an official response to that query by posting a video and the following statement on Twitter: “Humbled to report we’re bringing #MOANA’s lovely narrative to the live action big screen! I’m honored to collaborate with @DisneyStudios to communicate our story via the realms of song and dance, which are fundamental to who we are as Polynesian people since #MAUI impacted my life (miss you, grandfather). Many fans (including Anderson Luis) were motivated by his declaration to visit Midjourney to witness how the former WWE star would appear as the animation character that he brought to life in a live-action Moana movie. The outcomes were astounding.
As a Live-action Johnson Maui
Johnson portrayed Maui in Moana, a shape-shifting demi-god of the wind and sea. He is a bit of a troublemaker who, empowered by his hook, spends most of his time making Moana’s life challenging as she attempts to persuade him to restore the heart of Te Fitti. The majority of his tattoos manifest how he wishes and tell the story of his life.
The Rock’s facial features served as the direct inspiration for the animated character. Maui’s eyebrow movement makes this point abundantly clear, making it simple to see him in the role. However, the AI-generated graphics undoubtedly assist.
Johnson is seen with Maui’s thick, curly hair and an abundance of tattoos in every photo. The tattoos cover his forehead when a hat with a traditional appearance is absent. Johnson is also not smiling in any of the pictures; instead, he is shown grimacing and seems to be planning something.
One of the most crucial aspects of the character is his sly smile. He does all in his power to prevent Moana from learning anything significant about him for the majority of the movie, hiding behind his music, smiles, and sass until she finally breaks down his defenses. I’m interested to see how Maui will appear in shark-head shape.
Fans’ Reaction To The Live-Action Moana Film
People adored everything about Moana when it was originally released, including the music, the animation, the plot, and the amazing special effects that Disney was able to achieve. It was favorably welcomed, and everyone wanted more of it.
Therefore, when Johnson revealed that he would be playing Maui again in the live-action movie, many fans were thrilled at the prospect. They started praising the freshly produced AI artwork, quoting his well-known song, and being happy about his comeback.
The news that Moana will be a live-action movie, however, did not please all of the fans. They noted that the movie had just turned 6 and that viewers were still appreciating the amazing animation. As a result, they don’t think it’s necessary to make Moana into a live-action film.
