Is there a Moana 2 post-credit scene? What happens in it? And is Nalo, Matangi and Tamatoa's conversation confirmation of a third film in the franchise?

Your kid's favorite wayfinder, chief's daughter and Polynesian princess is back in Moana 2, a sequel to the beloved 2016 animated feature. The Disney movie sweeps Moana and Maui into another perilous, sea-set adventure, with Auli'i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson reprising roles as the titular heroine and the self-absorbed but lovable demigod.

Fans are wondering whether Moana 2 has an end, mid, or post-credits scene. They are also curious about Matangi’s fate in the film’s mid-credits scene. The story sees Moana and Maui embarking on a journey across Oceania’s seas and facing a new powerful threat.

The first "Moana" ended with a post-credits scene featuring Tamatoa, the famously shiny crab. When “Moana 2,” the sequel to the 2016 Disney movie, is finished, is it worth sticking around to catch a similar post-credits scene?

This week marks Moana’s long-awaited return to the big screen. The original Moana has become one of the most beloved entries in Disney’s storied library since its release in 2016, and the House of Mouse was originally planning to follow up that success with a Disney+ TV series.

What happens at the end of Moana 2? Here's what happens in the end credits scene and how it sets up a third movie.

But, does Moana 2 go beyond the main storyline with an end-credits scene? Yes! It does, and without spoiling anything, you're absolutely going to want to stay for it. It's deeply important to the storyline and involves a golden cameo we won't spoil.

Post-credits scenes aren't merely for the MCU. Matangi (Awhimai Fraser) is brought before Nalo, the god of lightning and storms who attempted to prevent Moana from reuniting the oceans, to answer for Moana and Maui's success.
