Disney’s beloved franchise could give Johnson the much-needed boost that he needs at the moment. After all, he voiced Maui, the demi-god who chee-hooo-ed his way into our hearts. With the possibility ofMoana 3, the actor could regain his megastar status, and reestablish himself amongst the Hollywood giants.
HowMoana 3Could Revive Dwayne Johnson’s Career: A Sequel That’s Already Breaking Records
Dwayne JohnsoninMoana,as Maui became a fan-favorite character and seemed to have great significance in the franchise’s future. Now thatMoana 2is already shattering box office records, its rapid success could easily result in a third installment. The sequel made $386 million globally within a week of its release, so Disney’s focus on the next part could be a certainty more than a possibility due to its massive earning potential (viaForbes).

Even though the critics’ score for the sequel has slightly dropped, the audience has paid no mind to it and has continued to swarm the theatres. Moreover, the movie ends with a cliffhanger scene and an introduction of a new antagonist, Nalo, which perfectly sets the stage forMoana 3.
So we already know that the high viewer ratings and box office numbers have increased the appeal of the franchise, especially from a business perspective. And Johnson’s involvement in the next chapter could be a major step in restoring his dwindling career.
The Live-ActionMoanaAdaptation and the Hope It Brings for Dwayne Johnson
Not just a third installment, but a live-action remake ofMoanais already being filmed, which is another glimmer of hope for Johnson’s struggling film career (viaPeople).

Then there’sBlack Adam, a movie that should’ve worked on paper, but once again, made disappointing returns. Its initial opening was strong, but it failed to maintain momentum, and these instances of poor performance have highlighted Johnson’s decreasing box office draw.
ButMoanais amongst Disney’s best films, and the actor will be reprising his role, both inMoana 3and the live-action remake, which might mirror the success ofThe Lion KingandAladdin, and earn billions globally. So after a string of disappointing box office results, Johnson’s future in Hollywood might depend on this franchise.
