It's been a long wait but finally Moana 2 is hitting the big screen to the delight of Disney fans everywhere. And according to our own 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Moana 2 review, the duo of Moana (Auli’i Cravalho) and Maui (Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson) is just as dynamic ♛as ever.

Does Moana 2 have a post-credits scene?

Yes, Moana 2 does have a post-credits scene.

The moment actually arrives as a mid-credit scene following the initial roll of stylized credits. There isn't a second scene afterwards meaning there ♌is no need to stay in your seats for the rest of the credits after this tease.

We break down the scene below...

Although the end of Moana 2 saw our heroic crew𒉰 rescue the lost island of Motufetu, defeating the curse which had been put up🥃on it by the villainous god Nalo, it looks like the battle isn't quite over yet.

The post-credits scene reunites us with the movie's s♛econdary antagoni🤡st Mantagi (Awhimai Fraser) who is goddess of the underworld. Although she barely featured in the film itself, Mantagi did play a key role in capturing Maui and helping send Moana into the portal of the gods, which is where she faced Nalo's curse.

Here Mantagi is talking with Nalo (Tofiga Fepulea'i), who actually didn't appear in the movie at all, meaning this is the first glimps💜e we are getting of the character. He's pretty unhappy that "a human" managed to not only reac🔜h Motufetu, but broke his curse too.

Mantagi tells him she is unsure how Moana did it, but Nalo isn't having any of it qui🔯ckly firing back against her. A frustrated Mantagi then tells him she has paid her dues to him and that she is "finished". However, as he chillingly replies: "No, we are just getting started."

It seems then we are setting Nalo up as a big bad for a future Moana installment as his villainous plans are oꦯnly just beginning. And hey, there must be a reason it's only in the posꦿt-credits scene they are showing his face.

A threequel, Moana 3, hasn't yet been announced but it seems like this is where the franchise is now heading. Of course, Moana 2 did start out life originally as a Disney Plus series before being redeveloped as a🐓 movie, so maybe we couldღ still expect a TV show one day to continue this story. Only time will tell but it appears they are setting up something...

The post-credits scene doesn't end there though as Mantagಞi and Nalo's conversation is interr🍨upted by a familiar face. Jermaine Clement's villainous coconut crab Tamatoa, a fan-favorite from the first film thanks to his song 'Shiny', enters the picture.

He suddenly lightens the mode, making a joke about evil laughs and offering his therapeutic services to Nalo. Tamatoa then asks whether Nalo wants to hear a song, which we very much🎶 do in the audience. And so he starts singing a little ditty called "funky crab legs" with t✱he not-so-imaginative lyrics: "Funky crab legs, funky crab legs." It might need some work Tamatoa!


Moana 2 is out in US theaters now before arriving oꦰn UK shores on 𓆉November 29.
