Actor Dwayne Johnson, renowned for his role as the demi-god Maui, opens up about the true meaning of masculinity as he reprises his iconic role in Disney’s much-anticipated Moana 2. The sequel, set to release in India on November 29, 2024, promises another captivating journey of self-discovery, courage, and the importance of seeking help.
In a recent interview, Johnson shared his thoughts on masculinity, emphasizing that “the true superpower is being able to ask for help.” Reflecting on his personal experiences, Johnson noted that powerful masculinity comes from the confidence to embrace vulnerability. “It’s not about being tough,” he said, “but about having the strength to admit when you need support.”
Moana 2 continues the adventures of Moana, who embarks on a daring journey across the Pacific Ocean to save her people. Alongside her is Maui, who, much like Johnson, faces the internal struggle of outward strength and inner vulnerability. Johnson hopes his portrayal will inspire others to recognize that even the strongest people sometimes need help.
Joining him in the film is Auli’i Cravalho, the voice of Moana. Cravalho reflected on her own connection to the character, stating, “Moana and I have both experienced the journey of growth and returning home, stronger than before.”
With breathtaking visuals and a heartfelt storyline, Moana 2 promises to captivate audiences once again, continuing the legacy of its award-winning predecessor.
