The fake poster shows Zendaya in Moanaโs outfit with the overlay text โZendaya as Moana.โ It has been circulating on Facebook and other social media platforms, leaving fans confused and excited. However, thereโs no truth to this claim, and neither Zendaya nor Disney has confirmed it. It appears to be a fanโs ultimate fantasy that got out of hand.
Fans rooting for Zendaya
Despite the fake news, fans are still hoping that Zendaya will be cast in the film. Many took to social media to express their excitement and admiration for the actress. They believe that she would be the perfect fit for the role of Moana. Some fans even threatened to boycott the movie if Zendaya isnโt a part of the cast. However, itโs important to remember that this is just a rumor, and thereโs no announcement yet.
Live-action remake announced
The live-action remake of Moana was officially announced by Dwayne โThe Rockโ Johnson during the Disney shareholders meeting on April 3. He confirmed that he would be reprising his role as Maui and also serving as one of the producers. AuliโI Cravalho, the original voice actor for Moana in the 2016 animated movie, will executive produce the live-action remake. However, the final cast for Moana is yet to be confirmed by Disney.
The viral fake poster of Zendaya as Moana is a perfect example of the importance of fact-checking before sharing news on social media. In todayโs age of instant sharing, itโs easy to get caught up in the excitement of a rumor without verifying its authenticity. This can lead to misinformation and confusion, which can be harmful in certain situations. Itโs important to take a moment to verify the source and confirm the news before sharing it with others.
