Social media is buzzing over Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson‘s not-sure-if-serious wig reveal in the newly launched trailer for Disney’s live-action Moana remake opening in theaters this summer season.
In the now-viral first look, The Rock (who’s reprising his position as lovable demigod Maui) will be seen sporting an simple, breezy wig unit that mayyybe may’ve used a little more zhoosing during the filming of the soon-to-be smash hit .

Naturally, social media had jokes about the with hilarious hysteria over the wig
Interestingly, there was severe thought put into the wig that needed ‘real elevate to it,’ according to director Thomas Kail (Hamilton).
“We knew that it had to be something that could have real lift to it,” said Kail in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, per DEADLINE, about Johnson’s wig.
“Because you’re doing this on the water, ‘what does it look like wet?’ is a real conversation when you’re making Moana. That one weighs seven pounds more with all the water in it for all those hours a day.”
Outfitted in a bodysuit designed by Oscar-winning make-up artist Joel Harlow, Johnson revealed the challenges of reprising his position as Maui, but in real life.
“The thing that became a challenge, that I had to work through very quickly, that I didn’t anticipate was the prosthetics and the hair and then the body. That is an additional 40 pounds on you,” Johnson told EW.
“There’s a freedom when you perform, whether it’s as an actor or singing. So that was an adjustment on how to actually work my emotions through the 40 pounds of prosthetics and hair and body that I had on me.”
Joining Johnson in the soon-to-be smash is Catherine Lagaʻaia as starry-eyed wayfarer Moana, John Tui as Moana’s no-nonsense father, Chief Tui, Frankie Adams as Moana’s playful and strong-willed mom, Sina, and Rena Owen as Moana’s revered Gramma Tala.
Whether Disney will quietly tweak the wig stays to be seen but we count on the movie to dominate the box workplace like 2016 traditional Moana and 2024 sequel Moana 2.
