Just a few minutes ago, actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson made global fans extremely excited when he suddenly announced that he had completed filming for the live-action remake of the hit movie Moana. However, at the same time, the Hollywood action star also made waves in the media when he revealed that there was “a big crisis” that needed to be faced right after the project ended.
In a video posted on his personal social network, The Rock stood on the beach in Hawaii – where the movie was filmed – with an emotional look: “This movie has a special meaning to me. I put my heart into every scene. Now, as the journey ends, I feel both proud and worried… because another storm is coming.”
Immediately after that announcement, fans began to ask a series of questions: What is the “crisis” that The Rock mentioned? According to industry sources, the post-production process of the Moana remake is facing serious problems with costs and release schedules. Disney is rumored to be under pressure after many live-action projects failed to meet expected revenue, and Moana – with a huge investment and scheduled for release in mid-2026 – is expected to be a “reputation saving shot”.
However, The Rock hinted that the problem is not just financial. In the next post, he wrote succinctly: “Sometimes the real wave doesn’t come from the ocean, it comes from within your own ship.” This cryptic statement has fans thinking that there may be internal conflict between the production team, or between The Rock and the studio.
However, the 52-year-old star still expressed great pride in the project. He affirmed that the role of Maui – the famous half-human, half-god character – “will come back stronger than ever”. The Rock shared: “I promised my fans that I would bring Maui back to the true spirit of Polynesian culture. This is not just a movie, it is a tribute to my roots.”
Hollywood critics were also quick to jump in, saying that The Rock’s completion of filming was an important milestone but at the same time warned that any “backstage turmoil” could affect the quality and release time.
Currently, Disney has not made any official comments on the “crisis” that The Rock mentioned, but netizens have started spreading the phrase #MoanaCrisis along with thousands of different theories. One fan commented: “If The Rock calls it a ‘crisis’, it must be a big deal.”
Rumors aside, fans around the world are still waiting for the official release of the live-action Moana — to see if “Final Boss” Dwayne Johnson can weather the real storm and bring the magic back to Disney.
