The tease isn\u2019t 100% literal (in these days of endless multiverse crossovers, we do have to specify that)\u00a0but it\u2019s surprisingly close. After the big musical finale, after the obligatory happy ending, <em>Moana 2 <\/em>pulls an old MCU trick, complete with imagery that sure seems familiar from <em>The Avengers<\/em> and other MCU movies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">[<strong>Ed. note:<\/strong><em> <\/em>Some <em>Moana 2<\/em> spoilers ahead.]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\">Does Moana 2 have a post-credits scene?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">No, there\u2019s nothing at the very end of the credits, but <em>Moana 2<\/em> does have a mid-credits scene that goes full MCU. After a replay of the soundtrack keystone \u201cBeyond,\u201d a scene plays that shifts the focus away from this film\u2019s story to, in theory, build anticipation for a continuing franchise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The big villain of the movie is Nalo (Tofiga Fepulea\u2019i), the god of storms, who sunk the mystical island of Motufet\u016b beneath the sea in an attack on the people of the Pacific Islands. Nalo isn\u2019t seen at any point during the movie proper \u2014&nbsp;his face is hinted at in storms and seen in dramatic artistic representations, but he\u2019s never physically present, and the heroes never encounter him in person. The mid-credits scene introduces him as just a big, mad dude sitting up in the clouds, steaming about how Moana just undid his big scheme.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">He\u2019s there to confront Matangi (Awhimai Fraser, the voice of Elsa in the M\u0101ori edition of <em>Frozen<\/em>), the seemingly threatening but actually apparently helpful bat-woman who sings <em>Moana 2<\/em>\u2019s fiery banger \u201cGet Lost.\u201d Nalo has figured out that Matangi helped Moana and her friends figure out how to navigate to Motufet\u016b, and he\u2019s furious at what he sees as a betrayal. He chains Matangi with lightning shackles, menacing her with a classic villain line: \u201cThis isn\u2019t over\u2026 No, we\u2019re just getting started!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Oh, and then Tamatoa the crab shows up.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/moana-2-unexpectedly-goes-full-mcu-during-the-credits-1.jpg\" alt=\"Tamatoa, the giant purple crab covered in gleaming gold and jewels in Disney\u2019s animated movie Moana\" title=\"Tamatoa, the giant purple crab covered in gleaming gold and jewels in Disney\u2019s animated movie Moana\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"Tamatoa in the original &lt;em&gt;Moana&lt;\/em&gt; | Image: Walt Disney Animation\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Walt Disney Animation\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The Jemaine Clement-voiced crab, who sings the David Bowie-inflected number \u201cShiny\u201d in the original <em>Moana<\/em>, isn\u2019t shiny anymore.&nbsp;His shell, previously covered in gold and jewels, is now covered with barnacles and bones. He tries to sell Nalo on his new song, \u201cFunky Crab Legs,\u201d a goofy little a cappella ditty about having 10 legs. Nalo is too annoyed for singing, and he casually tosses a blast of lightning at Tamatoa, destroying his new goth coating and making him pull back into his shell.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Tamatoa\u2019s presence is mostly a brief gag, but it does serve one purpose \u2014&nbsp;establishing the scale of Matangi and Nalo in this scene. Tamatoa is a gigantic monster on a human scale, easily capable of devouring Maui or Moana in a single bite. But he\u2019s just the size of a small crab compared to Nalo and Matangi. (Incidentally, Tamatoa is canonically a coconut crab, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@wildcorwin\/video\/7354091661720423710?lang=en\">those things are huge<\/a> on the invertebrate scale \u2014&nbsp;but up against these two supernatural figures, he looks more like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sMgw9K8wBMA&amp;t=26s\">a fiddler crab or something equally tiny<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\">Will there be a Moana 3?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>Moana 2 <\/em>famously <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2024\/film\/news\/moana-2-used-to-be-disney-plus-series-theaters-1235902293\/\">started out as a Disney Plus TV series<\/a> that was eventually pivoted into a theatrical release, and to some degree, that shows in the plotting: The movie introduces a lot of quirky new characters who are meant to drive different kinds of comedy and different kinds of plots, including crankly, elderly farm master Kele (David Fane), hyperactive young engineer Loto (Rose Matafeo), myth-obsessed lorekeeper Moni (Hual\u0101lai Chung), and Moana\u2019s demanding little sister Simea (Khaleesi Lambert-Tsuda).<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Writers Jared Bush and Dana Ledoux Miller try to give each of these new characters a purpose in the story and a moment to shine, but they\u2019re still pretty superfluous to the action most of the time. They feel like a setup for a series that\u2019s still waiting to happen.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/moana-2-unexpectedly-goes-full-mcu-during-the-credits-2.jpg\" alt=\"Moana gathers her new crew (scowling old man Kele, big hunky Moni, slim grinning Loto) and holds up her hand to show them how she navigates, but the framing deliberately looks like she\u2019s taking a selfie of all of them together in Moana 2\" title=\"Moana gathers her new crew (scowling old man Kele, big hunky Moni, slim grinning Loto) and holds up her hand to show them how she navigates, but the framing deliberately looks like she\u2019s taking a selfie of all of them together in Moana 2\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Walt Disney Animation\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Similarly, Nalo never actually showing up in person during the main action of <em>Moana 2<\/em>, while promising he\u2019s about to get serious \u2014\u00a0that suggests either a direct sequel, or like Disney is still planning an episodic TV series, where Nalo could turn up with a new plot against Moana and her newfound Pacific Islander coalition every week. His motives as described in <em>Moana 2<\/em> are pretty threadbare and basic:\u00a0\u201cHumans are too powerful, I\u2019m jealous, and I\u2019m going to use my storm powers to split them up,\u201d much as in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/hide-and-seek\/201204\/the-origins-of-love\">Plato\u2019s <\/a><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/hide-and-seek\/201204\/the-origins-of-love\">Symposium<\/a><\/em> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=N2-QxyhAsT8&amp;ab_channel=StephenTrask-Topic\">Stephen Trask\u2019s musical <em>Hedwig and the Angry Inch<\/em><\/a>. A series or sequel would have a lot of room to make him more of a character and expand on what he wants and why.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">But given that <em>Moana 2<\/em> was <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2024\/film\/box-office\/box-office-moana-2-previews-screenings-thanksgiving-wicked-1236224112\/\">already breaking box-office records before its release<\/a>, it seems likely that Disney would at least consider another <em>Moana <\/em>movie before a <em>Moana <\/em>TV series, especially if that early box-office surge bears out. Either way, <em>Moana 2<\/em>\u2019s mid-credits scene obviously and openly teases more Moana adventures to come in some form.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">And in that way, the mid-credits scene feels like a standard-issue MCU tease, a \u201cget ready for the next movie\u201d promise designed to leave the audience hanging. Nalo spending the entire movie off screen and then showing up at the end \u2014\u00a0specifically sitting on a throne, in an abstract godly realm \u2014 feels so much like the various Thanos credits-scene teasers, starting with <em>The Avengers<\/em>, where he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8hQn2DrSZr4&amp;ab_channel=ShortClips\">similarly calls a recalcitrant minion on the carpet for failing him<\/a>,\u00a0and leading up to <em>Avengers: Age of Ultron<\/em>, where he gets his big purple butt off his throne and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Bu_hw963AG4&amp;ab_channel=MarvelUniverseEntertainment\">promises to take matters into his own hands<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">While we\u2019re waiting for Nalo to follow suit in a new Moana movie or TV show, though, we can anticipate Disney\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/23668412\/moana-disney-live-action-movie-dwayne-johnson\">live-action remake of <em>Moana<\/em><\/a>, currently <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/dwayne-johnson-filming-live-action-moana-photos-8748906\">filming in Hawaii<\/a> and scheduled to hit theaters on July 10, 2026.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/disney\/486114\/moana-2-post-credits-scene-moana-3-nalo\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don\u2019t know who had \u201cDisney\u2019s musical sequel Moana 2 basically reveals a Thanos at the end\u201d on their 2024 bingo card, but it certainly wasn\u2019t me.
