Is Moana really to turn into a transgender character in Moana 2?
Though the article and social media posts by Mouse Trap News suggest that Moana is going to become a transgender character in Moana 2.
The website about its articles also states “We write fake stories about Disney Parks stuff…..We write 100% made-up stories for your enjoyment. We also hope that Disney sees how much people like some our stories and decide actually to make one of our stories a reality!”.
As such, we can conclude that the article claiming Moana’s transformation into a transgender character is a fabricated story. Additionally, Disney has not confirmed the production of a sequel to Moana. However, it’s worth noting that a live-action film in collaboration with Disney, featuring Dwayne Johnson, was announced several months ago.
