\"I have a feeling this little one already knows about her daddy,\" Johnson said. \"Thanks everyone for your amazing support.\"

Johnson, who is a father of three daughters, plays Maui, a boisterous demigod in the hit Disney film.

In February, it was announced by Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger that a sequel to the 2016 movie will arrive in November. The announcement came with an epic photo and video teaser.

Disney shared a new still in April from the sequel of \"Moana\" with the title character paddling on a boat in the ocean with a determined look on her face and what appears to be a strange set of eyes peering out from the background.

According to a press release, the animated musical will follow Moana on \"an expansive journey in search of people beyond the shores of Motunui.\"

\"Moana must journey to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced,\" the press release adds.

Along with Johnson, Auli’i Cravalho will return to voice Moana.

Disney is the parent company of ABC News and \"Good Morning America.\"

\"Moana 2\" opens in theaters Nov. 27.
