6Kele

Played by David Fane

Kele is one of the elders from Motonui who make his first show inMoana 2 . As amostly crabby and nonverbal eccentric , he is easy one of the most forgettable charactersinMoana 2 , as he really does n’t add all that much to the motion-picture show . Kele is voice by David Fane , who is best known for his other work inOur Flag mean Death , Next Goal Wins , andThe Messenger . According toD23 , " Kele is n’t as passionate about adventure as the rest of the crew . But he is passionate about the plant he grows ! " It ’s undecipherable whether Kele will be make an appearance inMoana 3and will perhaps have a rock-bottom role if he does return .

While having a grouchy character like Kele in the world ofMoanaisn’t needfully a high-risk thing , it was an interesting choice to include him on Moana ’s journey throughout the highly previse sequel . Kele often act as a stark foil to the residuum of the up-and-coming and upbeat characters in the world of Moana , which stop up providing a better good sense of balance and realism to the overall movie .

5Moni

Played by Hualalai Chung

Moni was a great supplementary sidekick to Moana throughout the new continuation movie and is an overall great and memorable addition to the crowd . While he is also earmark to having more of a background role like Kele , a fellow aboriginal islander of Motonui , he is known for beinga passionate fabricator and an esurient fan of Maui , almost like his " mini - me " . play by Hualalai Chung ofNCIS Hawai’i , Maui naturally fits into Moana ’s wayfinding gang and could become a more permanent piece of her ensemble run forward based on his nifty mental attitude and loosely lighthearted charisma .

If theMoanafranchise want to branch off and make a Maui - specific spin - off movie or television serial publication , it might be a safe estimate to admit Moni in that venture , since he would look up to Maui as an idol and mentor . There is also the natural consideration of Moni becoming a potential love interest for Moana , although that has yet to be preface whatsoever in the franchise at prominent . It would make signified of Moni went in either of these direction or both travel forward . Because there are several intriguing possibilities for his eccentric , he remain one of the most memorable ofMoana 2whoalso has a giant enquiry cross over his head .

4Matangi

Played by Awhimai Fraser

Matangi is the junior-grade antagonist inMoana 2and is mostly the only baddie seen in the legal age of the sequel . grant toDisney Wiki , Matangi " is an eccentric , bat - theme demigoddess who serve as an enforcer for Nalo , the God of Storms .

Some of which are vampire - similar . She can descale walls and has quick agility and reflexes . She can also fly and levitate . " This opens the door for gobs of cool features in Moana 3 , which could even see Matangi replacement sides and cease up on Moana ’s squad since there already looks like a wedge between her and Nalo . Matangi also seems to be a more accessible character than Nalo , which could make her into a highly compelling baddie in the future . InMoana 2 , she was quite challenging but still underutilized .

3Loto

Played by Rose Matafeo

Out of all of the wayfinding put up theatrical role introduce inMoana 2 , Loto is by far the most memorable and has the most likely to become a true franchise staple as Moana ’s true sidekick . play by Rose Matafeo ofStarstruckandGolden Boyacclaim , Loto also has a strong vocalism actress to back her up as her grapheme evolves alongside the massive Disney franchise . According toDisney Wiki , Loto " is the " brainy but offbeat " appendage of Moana ’s wayfinding gang along with Kele and Moni , who designs and sustain the ship during their seeking to the mysterious island of Motufetu . "

She also displays glimpse of valiancy throughoutMoana 2 , which hints that now that Moana herself has become a demigoddess , Loto too could also develop into enter the more mystical realm of Moana ’s lore . Loto has a cracking foundation established byMoana 2and as Moana ’s best female supporter besides her household members , she could have an even bigger role in the eventualMoana 3and beyond .

2Nalo

Played by Tofiga Fepulea’i

Nalo , played by Tofiga Fepulea’i , is interestingly only seen in human shape at the very end ofMoana 2during the mid - credits scene . As the main antagonist of the film , his charming violent storm power are not only fancy on full presentation but intensely feel throughoutMoana 2 , look at that he is Moana and her crew ’s greatest threat and substantial motivator . Nalo also had an collateral effect on the firstMoanafilm , since it washis curse that had prevented Moana from meeting other islanders in the first movie , unbeknownst to her or the interview at that clip .

Since Nalo addition strength by severing the islander community , he will present his greatest threat inMoana 3after Moana successfully unites multitude together at the end ofMoana 2 . It was an interesting choice to depart Nalo as a shadowy yet potent figure throughoutMoana 2 , since most villain are front and center in the vast majority of Disney movies . Moana 3should reveal more of Nalo ’s personality , since his force and power have already been demonstrated in the recentMoanasequel .

Even though she is just above bambino age , Simea is a funny and sassy character contrasted with Moana ’s bright and inspiring personality . The two sisters work well together in the few scenes they have , especially during their heartwarming reunification in the final moments of the megahit subsequence .

After introduce her character reference inMoana 2 , it nearly feels sealed that Simea will add up to have a braggart function alongside her sister in the eventualMoana 3.The mystifying love and connection between Simea and Moana are well established inMoana 2and should be the central foundation and launching launching pad thatMoana 3should take off from . view the years and rawness of the voice actor , it makes more sense why Simea did not have a bigger theatrical role inMoana 2 . It does , however , appear to bethe beginning of a bright acting career for Lambert - Tsuda , who could very well be approaching adolescence by the timeMoana 3comes out .

Simea could have a more entire role inMoana 3if the franchise undergo a major time jumping and made her part of the crew . The franchise could setMoana 3sometime in the future to allow Simea to get up and have a bigger part next to her babe . Her little yet unforgettable impact made her the good unexampled fictitious character addition inMoana 2by a long shot .
