After the massive success of Moana 2 and its triumphant box office performance over Thanksgiving and subsequent holidays, it’s only natural that fans are discussing the possibility of yet another sequel. The post-credits scene suggests there’s more story to tell, making a third installment in the series seem almost certain. However, given Walt Disney Animation Studios’ history and pace between sequels, we might be waiting longer than anticipated. Still, Moana 2‘s co-director Dana Ledoux Miller remains hopeful about Moana 3 and the future of the franchise.
At the 2025 Golden Globe Awards, ScreenRant interviewed Miller who provided an update on the future of the series and shared insights about her collaboration on the live-action remake of the 2016 Moana movie. With the impressive box office performance of the 2024 sequel, Miller is optimistic about the franchise’s continued success, expressing her belief in its future.
It seems clear that the overwhelming turnout for this movie indicates a strong affection for Moana. In the upcoming 1.5 years, another Moana film will be released in live action format, so there’s plenty of Moana enthusiasm to share. Who knows what other exciting projects are on the horizon?
Although this comment doesn’t definitively state that a third Moana movie is in progress, it’s challenging not to notice Disney’s possible enthusiasm for the franchise, given the success of the sequel and the completion of its live-action remake. However, there are many factors to consider, particularly since Moana 2 initially began as a series on Disney+ but was later reshaped into a full-length film.
‘Moana 3’ Could Serve as a Critical Course Correction for the Franchise
Despite the fact that “Moana 2” was a financial success, it didn’t garner as much praise from critics compared to the original 2016 movie (earning a 61% on Rotten Tomatoes versus the original’s impressive 95%). One of the key factors for this disparity was the ambiguous portrayal of the main antagonist, who made an appearance only in the film’s mid-credits scene. If “Moana 3” ever gets made, it could be a chance to address the issues of the second movie and wrap up the trilogy nicely. The ending of “Moana 2” hinted at a collaboration between villains, which is bound to play a role if a third film is greenlit.
At present, Miller’s remarks about the future of Moana are all that fans can rely on. Unfortunately, despite no official confirmation or announcement (as of now), it’s challenging to ignore the potential this franchise holds for an extraordinary continuation. The box office success of the movie clearly indicates an audience eager to follow Moana’s further adventures. Furthermore, if the live-action remake of Moana matches the quality of its animated counterparts, fan interest will undoubtedly escalate. It appears likely that a third Moana film may eventually materialize, and it will be advantageous as it won’t commence as a streaming series like its predecessor, which should help address the story issues that surfaced in the 2024 sequel.
