Moana 2
Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Moana 2!
However, the end ofMoana 2almost changed this.
In the climax of the film,Maui begins to lift up Motefetu, preparing to save the island.
As this is happening, Nalo strips Maui of his demigod powers, turning him into a normal human.
However, Maui not only survives, but he also gets his demigod powers back, subverting these expectations.
Without Maui’s demigod status, the story of the first twoMoanamovies couldn’t have happened.

However, he isn’t needed anymore.
Moana 2ends with a shocking twist, one that makes Maui expendable inMoana 3.
However, Maui revives her.
This upgrade will undoubtedly play into the story ofMoana 3, changing her character forever.
Even if Disney did want to retire Maui, killing him isn’t the only option.
He could also go the opposite direction, becoming a fully-fledged god and leaving the mortal realm.
Or it could be that Maui remains a recurring character in everyMoanafilm from here on.
