IfMoana 3becomes a reality, audiences will surely be introduced to a league of new Polynesian-god characters.
Maui himself comes straight from age-old Oceanian stories.
He is a trickster folk hero and demigod, just as inMoanaandMoana 2.
It can be expected that more such characters will be introduced infutureMoanasequels,andMoana 2sets this up flawlessly.
This incredible action resulted inMoana being resurrected as a demigod.
As she does this, Moana is sure to run into more gods and demigods.
As a demigod, Moana is essentially stepping into a whole new world.
As a demigod, Moana is essentially stepping into a whole new world.
This opens the door to more gods getting involved as well.

Te Fiti could make a return, but Moana is likely to be introduced to other figures.
The firstMoanamovie was a self-contained story with significantly less room to expand.
However, by makingMoana a demigod,Moana 2has given Disney much more to work worth.
With thousands of years of Polynesian legends to work from, the sky is the limit.
Moana 3is not yet confirmed, but it is highly likely.
Still, this isn’t to say that Moana’s humanity must be forgotten entirely.
She is a demigod, after all, not a god.
The hero’s true destiny had not been revealed.Moana 3will have the job of taking this further.
In all, this and more is just further evidence of the franchise’s exciting potential.
