Social media is buzzing over Dwayne \u2018The Rock\u2019 Johnson<\/a>\u2018s not-sure-if-serious wig reveal in the newly released trailer for Disney\u2019s live-action Moana<\/em> remake opening in theaters this summer.<\/p>\n

In the now-viral first look, The Rock (who\u2019s reprising his role as lovable demigod Maui) can be seen wearing an easy, breezy wig unit that mayyybe could\u2019ve used a little<\/em> more zhoosing during the filming of the soon-to-be smash hit .<\/p>\n

Interestingly, there was serious thought put into the wig that needed \u2018real lift to it,\u2019 according to director Thomas Kail (Hamilton<\/em>).<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe knew that it had to be something that could have real lift to it,\u201d said Kail in an interview with Entertainment Weekly<\/em><\/a>, per DEADLINE<\/a><\/em>, about Johnson\u2019s wig. <\/p>\n

\u201cBecause you\u2019re doing this on the water, \u2018what does it look like wet?\u2019 is a real conversation when you\u2019re making\u00a0Moana.\u00a0<\/em>That one weighs seven pounds more with all the water in it for all those hours a day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Outfitted in a bodysuit designed by Oscar-winning makeup artist\u00a0Joel Harlow, Johnson revealed the challenges of reprising his role as Maui, but in real life.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing that became a challenge, that I had to work through very quickly, that I didn\u2019t anticipate was the prosthetics and the hair and then the body. That is an additional 40 pounds on you,\u201d Johnson told EW. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a freedom when you perform, whether it\u2019s as an actor or singing. So that was an adjustment on how to actually work my emotions through the 40 pounds of prosthetics and hair and body that I had on me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joining Johnson in the soon-to-be smash is Catherine Laga\u02bbaia as starry-eyed wayfarer Moana, John Tui as Moana\u2019s no-nonsense father, Chief Tui, Frankie Adams as Moana\u2019s playful and strong-willed mother, Sina, and Rena Owen as Moana\u2019s revered Gramma Tala.<\/p>\n

Whether Disney will quietly tweak the wig remains to be seen but we expect the film to dominate the box office like 2016 classic Moana<\/em> and 2024 sequel Moana 2<\/em>.<\/p>\n
