Fan-created live-action trailer starring Dwayne Johnson and Zendaya goes viral

A fan-made trailer featuring Zendaya and Dwayne Johnson as Moana and Maui has gone viral.

After Duane Johnson announced the release of a playable version of the beloved Disney cartoon Moana (who will also act as a producer), it is still unknown who will play the role of the brave Moana in the film. Dwayne will reprise his role as the demigod Maui, which he voiced in the original film, with Thomas Cale re-directed. However, due to the current SAG-AFTRA strike, it may be some time before we know who Moana will be next. Meanwhile, Cinematic Pro Studio (a YouTube channel specializing in fan-made trailers) had fun making live action trailer for Oceania who sees the star of Spiderman and Dune, Zendaya, starring opposite the Rock. The fake trailer has been viewed almost half a million times in the past six days. While many Zendaya fans are interested in seeing her in this role, it’s important to note that Moana is a Polynesian character and will most likely be played by a Pacific Islander actress.

Auli Cravalho, old Moana

One thing is for sure, Auli Cravalho, the actress who voiced Wayana in Oceania, will not be returning to play the role, as she already announced on Instagram some time ago. However, the actress will return as an executive producer. The team behind the new version will also include Scott Sheldon, screenwriter Jared Bush, and Dana LeDoux Miller, a Samoan manufacturing expert.
