#11: Selena Gomez as Moana from Moana
Island life in modern-day Polynesia and Hawaii is a paradise for many vacationers, but life was very different even up to a few generations ago. Moana is the titular character of the movie, and her coming of age is met with resistance by her father who insists that the family and tribe are safer on a single island in the Pacific Ocean.
She was a Disney star before on the hit show Wizards of Waverly Place, so why can’t she be a Disney star now? Selena Gomez hasn’t stopped there with her role in Only Murders in the Building, and her current singing career could amp up the energy and emotion in a live-action Moana.
