Disney’s live-action Moana movie will officially have a fan-favorite character reappear on the big screen. In the film’s final trailer, Jermaine Clement is seen reprising his role as Tamatoa. Meanwhile, Moana and Maui have a friendly word spar and team up to explore the ocean. One scene even cuts to Moana being captured by Tamatoa.

The cast includes Catherine Laga’aia as Moana, Dwayne Johnson as Maui, Rena Owen as Gramma Tala, John Tui as Chief Tui, Jemaine Clement as Tamatoa, and Frankie Adams as Sina.
As per the synopsis, “Moana answers the Ocean’s call and, for the first time, voyages beyond the reef of her island of Motunui with the infamous demigod Maui on an unforgettable journey to restore prosperity to her people.”
