The live-action Moana film is set for release on July 31, with a full Japanese dub cast and premium format screenings confirmed.
The live-action Moana film has completed its Japanese voice cast and secured premium-format screenings ahead of its July 31 release. The Japanese dub leads were announced in late June: ME:I member TSUZUMI voices Moana, and Matsuya Onoe returns as Maui, reprising his role from the animated film. TSUZUMI performed the song 'How Far I'll Go' live at the announcement event.
Days later, Disney confirmed the film will screen in IMAX, Dolby Cinema, 4DX, and ScreenX, with format-specific posters released. Catherine Laga'aia plays Moana in the English original, with Dwayne Johnson returning as Maui. The Japanese dub cast was further expanded in early July, adding Midoriko Kimura as Gramma Tala, Shoichi Fukui as Tui, Haruka Manase as Sina, ROLLY reprising Tamatoa, and Ema Kurata as Baby Moana. A dubbed trailer accompanied the casting news.
The rollout positions the live-action Moana as a theatrical event comparable to the original animated film, with a full Japanese-language version ready for its opening day.
