Seven Bucks Productions is the television and film label that was created by Dwayne Johnson and Dany Johnson. It also is the newest label to sign a first look deal with Disney. This covers development of theatrical and streaming films. Variety reported the news this week, just as Disney was sharing more information about the live-action Moana cast, in which Johnson returns to portray Maui.
The deal not only gives the chance for more projects for Johnson to appear in, it also opens the doors to many other possibilities as well. It isn’t just limited to filmed content. It apparently gives Seven Bucks the chance to collaborate with Disney across all of its divisions. This could potentially mean seeing projects with Dwayne Johnson in Disney theme parks, video games, merchandise, and more.

Johnson is also slated to appear not only in the upcoming live-action Moana in 2026, he will again lend his voice to Maui in the animated Moana 2. This film is slated to be released in November. It’s recent release of a trailer broke records with 178 million views in just 24 hours.
