The first trailer and poster for Disney’s highly anticipated live-action reimagining of “Moana,” starring Catherine Lagaʻaia as Moana and Dwayne Johnson, who reprises his role as the trickster demigod Maui, debut today.

The trailer provides a first look at the live-action adventure, introducing audiences to the majestic island and vibrant people of Motunui; the shapeshifting demigod Maui; the intimidating yet adorable tribe of Kakamora; and Lagaʻaia as wayfinder Moana, who sings the powerful line “I Am Moana.”

In addition to Lagaʻaia and Johnson, the “Moana” cast includes Auckland, New Zealand, native John Tui as Moana’s no-nonsense father, Chief Tui; Samoan-New Zealander Frankie Adams, who portrays Moana’s playful and strong-willed mother, Sina; and Rena Owen, from Bay of Islands, New Zealand, as Moana’s revered Gramma Tala.

In Disney’s live-action reimagining of the beloved Oscar®-nominated animated adventure, Moana (Catherine Lagaʻaia) answers the Ocean’s call and, for the first time, voyages beyond the reef of her island of Motunui with the infamous demigod Maui (Dwayne Johnson) on an unforgettable journey to restore prosperity to her people. The film is directed by Emmy® and Tony Award® winner Thomas Kail (“Hamilton”); produced by Dwayne Johnson, Beau Flynn, Dany Garcia, Hiram Garcia and Lin-Manuel Miranda; and executive produced by Thomas Kail, Scott Sheldon, Charles Newirth and Auliʻi Cravalho, who voiced Moana in the animated features “Moana” and “Moana 2.” Audiences can experience the brilliant cinematic sights, sounds and songs of “Moana” in theatres on July 10, 2026.

After an 18-month, $300-million transformation, TD Coliseum is ready to usher in a new era of live entertainment when it makes its debut with a sold-out performance by Sir Paul McCartney on Friday, November 21, 2025. Led by Oak View Group, the transformation of the 463,000-square-foot venue blends technology, design, and hospitality to deliver a one-of-a-kind, first-class guest experience in the heart of downtown Hamilton, ON.

To create a frictionless fan experience, guests can plan their visit in advance through the TD Coliseum Mobile App, using its virtual arena explorer, mobile ticketing, venue maps, and easy access to merchandise and premium experiences.

“TD Coliseum was reimagined for Hamilton and the guests who bring it to life,” said Nick DeLuco, Oak View Group’s Senior Vice President and General Manager for TD Coliseum. “Every improvement from the concourses to the clubs was designed to make attending a concert or event more enjoyable and memorable. TD Coliseum represents where live entertainment is heading, and we’re proud to deliver that next-level experience right here in the heart of Hamilton.”

Central to the success of the building is the many partners who have chosen to invest in the Hamilton community through a shared vision and collaboration. In addition to partner Live Nation Canada and naming rights sponsor, TD Bank Group, the arena boasts founding partnerships with Asahi Canada, Rogers, Seeing Red and Ticketmaster. Each organization is contributing their unique expertise and resources to enhance the project’s success. Together, these partnerships reflect a shared commitment to raising the bar on live entertainment, celebrating local culture, and delivering an unforgettable experience for every guest.

Elevated Hospitality
Food & Beverage plays a key role in the fan experience. Curated by OVG Hospitality, the new offerings highlight Hamilton’s energy and culinary creativity, featuring locally produced ingredients and partnerships with regional suppliers. Guests can enjoy new signature concession items, including Fizzy Feathers’ Buffalo Chicken Poutine; Dip City’s French Dip Sandwiches; Soy’s Shrimp Gyoza, and Casa Escobar’s Carnitas Nachos, alongside upgraded concession favorites such as footlong hot dogs, soft pretzels, and pizzas. Guests can satisfy their sweet tooth with classic Mister Softee ice cream and mini donuts, and caramel popcorn at Sugar and Salt.

TD Coliseum is introducing food concepts from Canadian chef Matty Matheson — Matty’s Patty’s and Rizzo’s House of Parm — each opening their second Canadian location while former NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal’s Big Chicken makes its Canada debut. The arena also features The Iron Cow Public House, a full-service restaurant and bar powered by Matheson and operated by Our House H.C., which will be open to the public on event and non-event days. The restaurant is scheduled to open in early December.

Asahi Canada, the arena’s premium beverage provider, offers a global lineup of renowned premium beverages – including Peroni Nastro Azzurro, Asahi Super Dry, Grolsch Pilsner, Kozel Lager, and Pilsner Urquell – at concessions stands and in the House of Peroni lounge. Through a partnership with Ace Beverage Group, guests can also enjoy a range of Canadian-made options, including Cottage Springs ready-to-drink beverages. The brand will bring the spirit of the Canadian cottage to the arena with a custom-built on-site activation space located on Level 2, designed to be the ultimate hang out zone for guests!

Signature drinks like the Charcuterie Caesar and the “Blackbird” Berry Smash will be featured at bars throughout the venue, complemented by Pepsi and Celsius products. The venue is also proud to partner with Peller Estates, offering an outstanding lineup of locally produced wines, available throughout concessions and premium bar outlets.

TD Coliseum proudly showcases Canadian purveyors, bringing regional quality and flavors directly to guests. Menu highlights include Ontario-sourced beef, dairy, and pork; Ocean Wise–certified fish; and East Coast oysters. Guests will also find artisan selections from The Cheese Boutique, along with local favorites like Comeback Snacks, and fresh ingredients from farms in Ontario.

Tech-Forward Enhancements and Smarter Access
The TD Coliseum Mobile App serves as the central hub for planning and personalizing each visit. Guests can access mobile tickets, venue maps, and merchandising through the app, while digital wayfinding, a new Daktronics three-sided marquee, and complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi keep guests connected from arrival through encore.

The venue was redesigned for efficiency and comfort. Eight autonomous grab-and-go markets and contactless payment options streamline service and keep lines moving throughout the concourse, while walkways and upgraded seating improve comfort and accessibility across all levels. New vomitories now allow bowl access from every level. Three universal washrooms, AODA-compliant counters, and expanded accessible seating across all levels ensure every guest can move easily throughout the venue.

The Rezilience Gate presented by Seeing Red is the primary entrance for guests as a tribute to Indigenous success, creativity, and culture. Entry has been streamlined with advanced security screening technology at all 11 public gates and mobile ticketing powered by Ticketmaster for a faster, more seamless arrival.

All TD Credit Cardholders will get 10% back as a statement credit on eligible food and drink purchases at TD Coliseum events. Eligible TD Credit Cardholders will also get exclusive entry access through Priority Line Access at Gate 7.

A dedicated rideshare zone is located at the Vine Street lot off James Street North for convenient drop-offs and departures, and an ACA drop-off zone is on York Boulevard near Bay Street.

Premium Spaces
TD Coliseum features nine innovative Event Level Suites that offer premium suite hospitality with direct visual access to the arena bowl, along with fifteen 100-level suites, offering great views and luxurious amenities. Premium Clubs provide unique atmospheres across multiple levels:

Backstage Innovation
Behind-the-scenes, the arena has been re-engineered for world-class productions and touring events. A new rigging grid with more than 250,000 pounds of loading capacity and upgraded acoustic paneling offers flexibility for all types of events. A modern artist compound includes five dressing rooms, a private lounge, catering space, and direct stage access while expanded locker rooms and production offices support teams and touring personnel.

Sustainable Impact
Sustainability is built into TD Coliseum’s design and operations, with energy-efficient systems, waste-reduction programs, and local sourcing practices at the core. A recycling program, waste separation, impact reporting, and eco-friendly smallware throughout the arena will play a key role in reducing the overall carbon footprint. Membership in GOAL (Green Operations & Advanced Leadership) further reflects OVG’s commitment to responsible, measurable environmental performance across its global portfolio.

EllisDon Corporation, one of Canada’s most experienced and accomplished construction services companies, oversaw construction with design by Brisbin Brook Beynon Architects.
