Moana 3 Update: Promising Future for the Beloved Franchise
Moana 3: A Promising Future for the Beloved Franchise
The success of Moana 2 has left fans eagerly anticipating the next chapter in the beloved Disney franchise. Following its impressive box office performance during Thanksgiving and the subsequent holiday season, speculation about Moana 3 has been rife. The post-credits scene in Moana 2 teased the potential for more adventures, making a third installment seem almost inevitable.
Despite the excitement, history shows that Walt Disney Animation Studios often takes its time between sequels. This suggests that fans might have to wait longer than expected for Moana 3. However, co-director Dana Ledoux Miller remains optimistic about the future of the series. In a recent interview with ScreenRant at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards, Miller discussed the franchise’s prospects and her involvement in co-writing the live-action remake of the original 2016 Moana film.
Miller highlighted the financial success of the 2024 sequel, which bolstered her belief in the franchise’s future. She stated, “I think that the fact that so many people have come out to see this movie means that there’s a lot of love for Moana. In a year and a half I have another film coming out, it’s the live-action Moana, so there’s a lot of Moana love to go around. And who knows what else is next.”
Although Miller’s comments do not confirm the development of Moana 3, it’s clear that Disney recognizes the franchise’s potential. The sequel’s positive reception and the completion of a live-action remake indicate that the studio is invested in expanding the Moana universe.
Additionally, it’s worth noting that Moana 2 originally began as a series on Disney+ before transitioning into a feature film. This flexibility in storytelling formats demonstrates Disney’s commitment to evolving the franchise to meet audience expectations.
While there may be no official announcement yet, the future of Moana looks bright. Fans can look forward to the upcoming live-action adaptation and hold onto hope for more animated adventures with their favorite characters in Moana 3.
