Dwayne Johnson badly needs the live-action Moana.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The recent trends in Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's acting career suggest he might need the live-action Moana more than Disney does. Long before Dwayne Johnson voiced Maui in the original animated Moana movie, he was a Hollywood newcomer, dipping his feet into a whole new world after his tenure at the WWE.
The Rock's Movies Have Struggled Of Late Following his debut in The Mummy Returns as Scorpion King, Dwayne Johnson rose in the ranks as an actor and became one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood. At one point, he was the face of so many popular movie franchises like the G.I. Joe, Fast and Furious, Jumanji, and Journey that he was often touted as the "box office Viagra.
DC League of Super Pets, in which Dwayne Johnson voiced Krypto, received generally positive reviews after its release but could not bring an end to the star's growing list of commercial failures. The fact that Dwayne Johnson is returning to the Fast & Furious franchise proves that he is likely well aware of the struggling box office numbers of his recent films.
While Disney's live-action adaptations like The Little Mermaid and The Jungle Book have proven the potential of the movie sub-genre, others like Mulan have established that not all animated films should be traversed to the live-action medium. Similar to most other live-action adaptations, Moana, too, could be a hit or miss.
