Auli’i Cravalho already said in May of this year that she will not be reprising her role as Moana in the next live-action movie. With an Instagram video, the actress revealed the important information. She is still involved with the remake, though, as one of the producers.
“My life and career were gloriously changed when I was cast as Moana at the age of 14. I won’t be playing the same part in this live-action retelling. The casting must, in my opinion, authentically reflect the personalities and narratives we wish to depict. She stated in the video, “I can’t wait to find the next actress to express Moana’s brave spirit, incredible wit, and emotional power.
