Dwayne Johnson has confirmed that not only will he play the male lead in the new Disney movie Moana - he'll also be singing in the role.
The Rock announced the news on Instagram, writing: "At DISNEY STUDIOS signing contracts to play the male lead in their next big classic animated musical, #MOANA."
He continued: "Just had an amazing 2hr presentation and it's easy to see why they're the greatest story tellers in the world. Im excited. [sic]
"And in the background my homies Fred & Wasabi from #BigHERO6 are jumpin' for joy joy cause they heard I'm gonna sing in the movie." [sic]
Johnson was first linked to the project in December.
Moana is set more than 2,000 years ago and tells the story of the adventurous daughter of a Polynesian chief as she sets off on an impossible-looking mission to find a mystical island.
John Musker and Ron Clements will direct the musical film, which will use a mix of traditional and computer animation.
