New look at Dwayne Johnson as Maui on the set of Disney’s live-action ‘MOANA’ film. In theaters on July 10, 2026.
The You’re Welcome singer – who is known for his signature bald head – sported a flowing raven wig and a whalebone necklace – topped off with tinted shades between takes as he strolled around set.
While famed for his hunky frame, the ex-wrestler was looking more ripped than ever as he showed off his defined pecs and muscular arms on the set.
The star was also seen playfully wielding Maui’s magical fish hook that allows him to shapeshift into various creatures.
He joined Catherine Laga’aia, 17 – the young actress who will play the titular Polynesian heroine, Moana – on set. The Sydney, Australia native is a relative unknown with Samoan heritage.
Laga’aia previously said: ‘I’m really excited to embrace this character because Moana is one of my favorites. My grandfather comes from Fa‘aala, Palauli, in Savai‘i. And my grandmother is from Leulumoega Tuai on the main island of ‘Upolu in Samoa.
