Moana Live-Action Tour: Dwayne Johnson Skips Puerto Rico, Lin-Manuel Miranda Represents

Disney's live‑action adaptation of Moana, scheduled for a July 2026 theatrical release, is being promoted with a global tour that began in Hawaii in mid‑June 2026. The tour features fan events, interactive experiences and appearances by cast members.

Dwayne Johnson, who reprises the demigod Maui, will not attend the Puerto Rico stop of the tour due to scheduling conflicts. Lin‑Manuel Miranda, the Puerto Rican composer and producer of the original Moana songs, will represent the film at that event. Earlier, Johnson discussed the movie during a London experience, emphasizing its focus on empathy and praising a pivotal scene where Maui prepares to sacrifice himself.

The Puerto Rico appearance is expected to draw significant local interest, while Johnson’s absence underscores the logistical challenges of coordinating high‑profile promotional schedules.
