The Rock as Maui in live-action Moana
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 гру 2023
- The Rock is starring as the demi-god Maui in a live-action version of Moana. A lot of people are interested in how this movie is going to translate from the animated version, but also, what The Rock/Dwayne Johnson is going to look like.
The Rock is known for getting jacked for his movies, but Maui, while big, has more of a soft cuddlier physique.
However a big clue is that a lot of inspiration for Maui was taken from Dwayne Johnson's late grandfather, High Chief Peter Maivia. He was a big, strong wrestler, with the trademark thick curly hair... so perhaps he will adopt a similar look and physique to his grandfather in the movie.

Who else is curious to see how The Rock will look as Maui?
It's gonna be insane it'll be Maui. But. With his face 🤯🤯
Its disney so its gonna be crap
how much juice will he inject himself with?
😊
Like the rock in a wig .duuuh
@@weilam03 😂😂😂😂
The Rock using Maui as the excuse to go on a dirty bulk
Ha right
Dad bod Rock bod lol 😂
Not likely but would be interesting to see if it went that way
He'd be gargantuan
" well, I mean....Yeah, I used uhh...performance enhancing drugs to prepare for the role. And I... didn't have alot of time to get in the shape the director wanted. He de- deMANDED it, actually. Sort of. Well, he didn't say it, but his body language did."
He needs an excuse?
That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking and if that’s true, I’m in full support of it 💯💪🏻
He's only doing it for his daughter to finally believe him 😂😂😂
Haha that was my first thought too 😆
When you come on to make a comment but its already there word for word lol
That must be annoying she doesn’t know since she is to young
Disney exec: “We need to change his ethnicity!”
Assistant: “in this case Maui is orig a *non white* character. We don’t usually change those.”
Disney exec: “Fantastic point!”
Also Disney execs: “Let’s make Beethoven a black guy!”
his grandfather literally looks like maui but without the tatts
Forget Live Action Moana… I want to see a prequel called “ Maui”. The back story about his parents dropping him into the sea, The big Crab he ripped the arm off of, him getting his Hook, him pulling up the islands from the sea. Him stealing the Heart and being banished. It’s all there.. bring it on!!
Really it's not good
Yeah that would be super cool I doubt they'll consider it tho
I'm down
Would be cool if they did such a short story, either at the beginning or towards the end of the movie. This is the time to step movie productions up a notch. Like, that would be a cool Easter egg. I've noticed some movies are adding bloopers at the end or a short story. Things you wouldn't expect at the end of movies, and that's pretty cool. ✨️
I’d like to see that
No one loves the Rock more than the Rock 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 thought the same lmao
I love rock more than him
I loved the rock since that king scorpion movie😂😂❤❤❤
@@mypagewill4258You mean 'The Scorpion King'??
(I thought you said you loved the Rock 😂)
@@pe3zus u right!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Damn Disney is really struggling to think of something new out here they're already remaking Moana 😂
That’s what people wana see
@@illegalalien127Maybe. Me personally tho, I'd rather have them create a new story with new characters that I can get invested in, contrasted to retelling the same story and using already established characters we're already familiar with and potentially changing their values/beliefs/goals. Which at that point would already be a new character
The majority of people will watch anything that's why there is all this garbage @@illegalalien127
So when are you going to make your first movie?
it’s not disney’s idea it’s the rocks idea, you do know that most actors are producers and can mayor their own projects
I’m a grown man and I cried during Moana. I can’t wait to watch you restore the heart of Te Fiti in live action. *(texts the boys about the good news)*
My daughter loved this movie but not as much as me. We watched it the other night and everyone fell asleep but me (dad) I had to see the whole thing trough, and the good dinosaur is another great one…. And coco I love being a dad lol
There’s no way they could make a live action of Moana without the rock as maui
I no that this may be like a surprise to you this is my private accounts

This is the rock we're talking about. He isnt going to change a thing, he's just going to play himself again. Remember black Adam? He was just the rock in black spandex. He didn't try to look like adam beyond clothes.
P.S.
I don't dislike or hate the rock, I'm just of the opinion that he puts little efforts in his roles now, leave it to someone that'll do justice to it.

People actually made it that far into the movie?
His movies are mostly crap now
@@hotpotat0es i don't agree with you. Just state the obvious. You are not a fan
@@izunduchristophernwokocha8376 sorry but it's a fact .the guy only ever plays himself aswell .another fact .
Do we really need a live action version? The animated one is great already
In a word? No.
We don’t.
Yeah I think I'll just rewatch the original.
Its The Rock. Ppl are tired of his forgettable action films and he needs new paychecks.
It has to be further diversified but without actual diversity. Then it has to be half as good as the original. Then cry racism.
Am i missing anything?
Uh yes we do
I hope he still has the animated tattoos, those were so cool! My fave thing about Maui (aside from the dope way he dies.)
This is gonna be so sick!! I hope they cast the voice actress for Moana as Moana too!! She is so perfect for the role!
It's already confirmed she is NOT playing as Moana.
@@Riesenskorpion Well that sucks...
@@ChineduOparaYeah, it was her choice, she felt she didn't accurately represent how Moana looked, but still unfortunate.
It’s gonna be lame!

Actually, the only question that came to my mind is, "who asked for a live-action version of Moana?"
It was a successful movie and live actions are common.
@@itsonlyhugs9486they also very common to fail as many others they had already released.
another question is "Who doesn't want a live-action version of Moana?"
@@MCM686 I don't disagree that many have failed and didn't capture what makes the classics special. It's hard to pull off.
@isaacduran4572 They only replace white actors for their live action. Polynesians are not white, so I'm guessing they will cast more appropriately...
Why not just give us a Moana 2?!!
Maybe they're working on it but this is just something to throw at people while they work on it idk
Because Disney knows their track record with sequels. 😂 They’d rather remake the thing that worked the first time.
@@sunnyislesYeah. Toy Story 2 was pretty much the best sequel Pixar/Disney made for a while.
@@IceColdKeizyes... Toy story did good.. best one and only one! That's it! That's all folks !
We need neither remake nor sequel.....
Isnt this like, the first time that an animated character will be played in live action by the voice actor of said character?
Wow how cool... I didn't know Peter Maivia was his Koroua.
I remember him wrestling on TV in the old days when I was a kid. Great chip off the old block with Mana passed down to his grandson.
Looking forward to the movie.
In this new version of the film he begs working class citizens for money to rebuild a decimated land while he and the rest of his accomplices laugh hysterically and count their millions... AND MILLIONS!
*arched eyebrow
😂 I’m so glad you posted this! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Rock is a scum bag
I posted something similar and we need to keep exposing these plastic people!
G status
Preach bruh
Disney so desperate they are remaking things that aren’t even a decade old 😂
This is probably more the rocks idea then Disney and because he's so powerful in Hollywood they gave it the green light
I find it very surreal and humbling seeing Dwayne Johnson wearing glasses. Makes me realize we all get older
Love from nagaland ❤
No matter how they try, the cartoon version will always be the best 😂
You mean the rock buying Maui....you know
..after it catches fire as well. Sup Oprah
Oprah can be the mom or grandma and then they can really rule the island just like in the movie.
@@Ghesh-kg4dr oh I'm pretty sure that's in the works my friend
They both disgust me

I Gotta Say... I Can't Wait For This To Come Out. My Grandkids Used To Watch The Original All The Time. We All Cried Everytime. Yes, I, The Granddad, Also Cried 😂.. . Rock, U Da Shape Shifter Man.. 👍👍😎
Honestly cant wait for the movie!! I loved this movie when it came out. I also love the rock.
Why not just make a live action movie with an original plot line? Oh, that’s right. It’s Disney.
Please, that would require work. That would mean they would actually have to PAY people, can you imagine?
Moana wasn’t woke. So they need to remake EVERYTHING to have “modern story” basically a trash story about Moana becoming the KING of the island.
Except for Cinderella
@@nasilelelisselo2348 the live acción cinderalla wasnt that bad I quite enjoyed it
@cobybeltran9169What the fuck are you talking about. You truly only see the world in black and white mate? Moana is polynesian which is better pandering to minorities than black people, since you know, polyensians dont tend to get movies made about them.
He should go to Maui instead. And help clean up Lahaina for free
For reals! Always claiming the islands as his home but he barely helps when they need help I
💯 Facts
And even if he did that, you’d still say he only did it for attention 🤡🤡🤡
@@robinmorales5365 Exactly... typical.
@@robinmorales5365- Poor Him. I guess it's better to do nothing then.
This just made my night and day. As a grown adult. I’m actually excited for this movie. The original is one of my fav hands down.
I think the Rock is the only one who can pull off being a real life Maui. I'm interested in seeing it. Love Disney movies. Peace always ✨️
Didn't the cartoon just come out like last Thursday
That’s what I said
It's actually been 7 years
@@ThumosTheUnbroken Still too soon for a remake
@@ThumosTheUnbrokenso yeah… last Thursday!
@@dominiquawhartonDam i gotta wait till 20 + years?
He is with the people against Maui
I didn't know about his Grandfather
Amazing! Holy Spirit come through 😊
Be great to have a movie of Maui and his achievements.
He was the youngest brother of 5 brothers we know about, but his parents were also from the line of Ranginui and Papatuānuku where we descend from.
Sweet now we get to see the man who scammed all of Hawaii make a Polynesian movie 🍿🎥
Scammed how?
Exactly him and Oprah I'm no longer her fan 😢 that broke my heart that she pulled that bull and he should've put her fake butt in her place for his people instead of teaming with her to ask us broke fothermuckers for money
You all people are just jealous bc he is an star and you are not 😂😂😂
@@seanewing204 Look at the "charity" he promoted with Oprah immediately after the fire, it goes further, but just start there.
Dude for real I can't believe he did that what a piece of sht. (Had to edit this😂
He's nothing more than an empty suit and a corrupt wheeler and dealer. Stand this dude. Amazing how many people he's been able to fool
Did he tell you that
“IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT YOU THINK“
“Know your role and shut your mouth you jabroni”
May he embrace the beauty of Maui's full, thick n silky hair. Gosh how I miss the hair.
Can't wait can't wait to see the transformation into the eagle 🦅 I hope it will be cool😱
Could be interesting if they have moana's voice actress play her in this movie too.
The football player featured in the shampoo commercials has the perfect look for Maui.
yes bro has the phys ice of a Polynesian chief
Troy Polamalu
Head and shoulder shampoo 😂😂😂
Troy also voiced a villager in Moana. Side note, as a Bengals fan it was awesome to see him get blown up by Domata Peko :)
Peko would probably fit into the movie somewhere as well.
Polamalu is who you’re thinking of I hope lol
Yes sir me and my daughter have been waiting for this.
I'm here for it, I love him so much
He already knows all of his lines, so there’s that. I’m actually looking forward to seeing this adaptation
Disney: so, you will reprise your role as Maui?
Rock: what I BELIEVE you were trying to say is "thank you"
Disney: thank you?
Rock: you're welcome! ** Launches into the song.
@MrVovansim Problem is that it came out not long ago. The movie should be a prequel and show maui becoming a demi god
And it’s his culture kinda
@@IronmangroupDisney's well of creativity is running dry, they need to quickly churn out more remakes because the ship is sinking
@zacziggarot most definitely not sinking. Not even a little bit. Its just a small drip leak. You even know how much money they have? Its laughable. Yes some inside are desperate and worried, however they are fine
I can't imagine the rock with long curly hair 😂😂
I mean.. He did have long hair in the scorpion king
In Hercules too
True
I guess u missed a lot of his movies ahahah
Bro🤦♂️
Wounderful for you Mr Duyene
I love The Rock!! He rocks! 😂❤
Maybe Maui can help get the families back to their land and property in Maui
Old Zuck doing some building though
Yeah right him and Oprah were in on it together.
@@Kclmt23 I saw that. My comment was more sarcastic than anything. High list actors and earners don't give a shit about anyone but themselves
@@adamsherm29 I completely agree with you
Well after The Rock and Opera paid space aliens to burn the place down with Death Rays. I am surprised neither of them have made any land purchases since the fires.
Either you guys scared them away from buying up the entire island. Or Qanon isn't as reliable as we once thought..... Either way, this is one of the more entertaining conspiracy theories! And before you ask, I hate both of them! They are establishment filth!
Trying to finally convince his daughter that he’s Maui 😂
His grandad looks exactly like Maui 🥰
Восприятие моё, он Бог, Бог Удачи, Бог Силы, Бог Харизмы! Люблю его!!!❤❤❤
Weird now to see him playing as Maui when all he did for Maui was ask other people for their money
Jimmy: Will your next movie have any scenes in a Jungle or Rainforest?
Rock: Uh, duh...
Dude killed the chances of having a crazy Black Adam movie so that he could be the hero when he's a villain, and now he's doing another live action of an animation film and you think he's gonna make it justice?
Wait and weep 💀💀
I do hope he bulks up. It would be so good to see him as a cuddly goof other than a (rock) solid Rock.
I thought this got scrapped ages ago because everyone agreed that remaking a film less than 10 years old was dumb, unnecessary and uninteresting?
Why do so many people keep enabling Disneys laziness and creative bankruptcy? Why are you OK with it? Demand better! Come on people! This is embarrassing! They're paid exorbitantly - make them actually Earn like 10% of their salaries for a change
The real life Maui, as in the place, burned to the ground! Or have most people forgotten already?
This is damage control to put a positive light on MAUI.
This is damage control on Rocks career after his stint with Oprah in trying to make money off the tragedy.
There’s still 2000 kids missing and no one asking questions about where they went………
This is the type of psychological operations the system does to change/steer public opinion after a planned operation that has been brought to light.
They also know to associate Maui with comedy for the children to paint it in a positive light.
I don’t expect a lot to understand what I’m saying but I know there’s a few out there that will get it.
They took the kids?
If you respond, like my comment or I won’t be directed back to this thread.
But what “they” are doing and have been getting away with is disgusting and the fact that people are willing to stay asleep to the real life boogeymen while the ship sinks is heartbreaking.
I'm one of the people who gets what you're saying
People still stuck in the matrix won’t understand.
I definitely got the message bud sad to say I live with NPCs
We all know he’s only doing this so his daughter finally believes that’s he’s Maui 😂😂
Mannnn I’m so proud of the Rock. I’ve been a superfan back in his Peoples Elbow, Samoan Drop era.
His going to find a way to make the entire movie about him, I guarantee it.
when does he not
He already tried to in the original...
@@taylorsessions4143 Yeah, but he won't quit. Yet everybody loves him like a god. It's weird.
@@SantianoBe he must have a really good agent lol
I’m guessing we didn’t watch the same movie where Moana went and searched for Maui to make him out back the Heart of Tafiti….. like the storyline isn’t a dual one of Moana accepting her calling to the water regardless of what others say and Maui realizing that him being a Demigod doesn’t define who he is because he’s more than that. It was a great movie, my kid absolutely loves it and it has an amazing message. Why does everyone have to make everything so freaking negative all the time.
You're the man ROCK the USO
As a big super fan of the Rock, i am over the moon and excited that he will be starring in the live action Moana movie! 🎬
Your brainwashed and have no 🧠
Stuff like this is exactly why I play video games instead of watching movies. Video games have wonderfully original and meaningful stories. Hollywood makes the same movie twice in a handful of years and expects praise.
To be honest they're both not much different. Many games literally do exactly same thing. Creating something unique is quite a feat.
Maui..... Really Rock. Who's Oprah playing?
The giant, man/demi god eating crab?
The roll she was born to play, a real imitation of her in cartoon form - Ursula!
She’s been taking Ozempic to play Moana😂🤦🏾♀️🤣
I mean he personally donated $5 million dollars and raised $100 million, how much did you give them?
@@mattysee24 nothing. Why should rich people ask the poor people to help them pay for something they both can do by themselves? 😒
I can’t wait for this one
Well he has been linked to the devastation in Hawaii so this role is right up his alley. The scary part is it’s a children’s movie and allowing him to take part is ludicrous. 😂
This should be interesting... I'm there for it... Hopefully they don't change too much from the original version.
moana is going to be a ginger white girl bro
@@weilam03 is genshin impact worth playing in 2024? Is Honkai star rail better?

@@chasah9817 Do you decide who's real and who's fake? Because he seem pretty proud of his Polynesian heritage and looks like he embraced it quite well. In your logic, no people that are second generation from other cultures are "real". They're all fake?
Also if I’m not mistaken him and Opra asked the starving working class to donate to their “charity” when they didn’t invest a single penny other than the land they bought for themselves under the destroyed families…🤔
Right, like they really thought we forgot about that. How long ago was it again, four months? I don’t know but I’m definitely not forgetting it
They both donated 10 million (so they said)
@@chianeperry2464 "So they said"
They did this just like the whole Taylor swift thing.

And the whole Taylor swift thing with her using her jets to fly literally everywhere. They ended up making her go to Jets games and date a player to get the agenda off her flight usage.

Bro uses the word Mana more than any of islanders I know 😂
YES YES YES, I LOVE THIS, PLEASE PLEASE
Adam was a bomb; this will most likely follow Disney's recent string of flops.
Please give him hair, or you could just cast Jason Mamoa. He's younger, funny & his physic is
on for this role.
🙏❤
And waaaaaaaaay more handsome if you ask me.
They are both rapists
Yeah he fine as fuck
The hell with Jason Mamoa . They need to just use Roman Reigns. Roman is hotter than The Rock or Jason Mamoa any day.
Several years ago the Rock was cast to play Kamehameha in an epic movie of the former King. Hawaiians struck that idea down all because the Rock is “Samoan” and not “Hawaiian.” This is now a workaround that past commotion.
As a Hawaiian I wouldn’t necessarily strike it down cause he’s Samoan. I just don’t think he could do it. The Rock is too much of himself in movies which is fine. I love just about all his movies. This roll would have to be someone unknown
Oh, live a tuo. Moana is going to be awesome! Only The Rock can play live Maui.
You know Disney is grasping at straws to stay afloat in popularity as this movie was decent and might be good/make money.
Though they have lost hundreds of millions if not a billion or more dollars in non stop flops the past three years
They need a big bread winner movie to not start to panic too much
The Hawaii fire will be the big topic publically around this project. The "Donations" might come up again
Well I sure hope that they don't recoup anything with this supposed upcoming movie. They just need to stop while they are not ahead...
So sick to death of Disney making live-action versions of all their animated films. In every case the animated is better.
Not to mention he's going to butcher/appropriate the absolute living shit out of my culture in reproducing the movie... AGAIN!
They can’t make anything new
This dude is everywhere lol. Movies TV shows commercials football wrestling game shows. Damn let someone else have a turn lol
Hes going to look handsome with long hair especially if its curly.... Remind me of scorpion king❤😂 and the mummy

So basically the same character he plays in every movie? Hobbs? The rock with a bullet proof vest. Buford pusser? The rock with a 2x4. GI Joe? The Rock with a gun. The Rundown? The Rock in a Land Rover. Maui? The Rock animated. His hype is beyond me, and I grew up with his full WWE run.
