Disney’s musical sequel Moana 2 has pulled off an unexpected trick by incorporating elements of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in its mid-credits scene. The film’s big villain, Nalo, is introduced as a powerful and menacing figure who seeks revenge against Matangi, a character who helped Moana on her journey.
The scene shows Nalo confronting Matangi, chaining her with lightning shackles and vowing to take further action. A brief appearance by Tamatoa, the lovable but goofy crab from the original film, also adds to the comedic tone. However, it’s clear that Nalo is a force to be reckoned with, and his presence sets up an interesting dynamic for potential future films in the franchise.
Moana 2’s mid-credits scene feels like a nod to the MCU, with Nalo taking on a similar role to Thanos in The Avengers. This teaser has left fans wondering if there will be a Moana 3, with many speculating that Disney is setting up a direct sequel or TV series featuring the character.
In addition to this exciting plot development, Moana 2 introduces a range of quirky characters who feel like they were meant to shine in their own spin-off shows. However, their roles are largely overshadowed by the main storyline, leaving room for future adventures with Nalo and Matangi.
With Disney’s live-action remake of Moana currently filming, fans have more to look forward to as they await the release of this highly anticipated film on July 10, 2026.
