Moana 2 left future movies of the franchise in the perfect position to dive deeper into Polynesian gods. While the first Moana movie certainly implied a variety of deities, Maui and Te Fiti were the only two in the spotlight. Moana 2 took this further, introducing new gods (good and bad) to play a role in Moana’s story. The film’s ending saw the Hero of Motunui go through a significant change, throwing the door wide open for the future. If Moana 3 becomes a reality, audiences will surely be introduced to a league of new Polynesian-god characters.
