Today the first trailer for Disney’s new film, Maya and the Last Dragon dropped and it is a gorgeous piece of art.
It releases into theaters on March 12, 2021. (this of course could change depending on our future with Covid)
Starring Kelly Marie Tran as Raya and Akwafina as Sisu, Raya and the Last Dragon is the next in line of films using appropriate casting for main characters. It’s a fantastic trend an I really hope that Disney keeps it up.
Here is the film’s synopsis. I have to say it sounds amazing.
Long ago, in the fantasy world of Kumandra, humans and dragons lived together in harmony. But when sinister monsters known as the Druun threatened the land, the dragons sacrificed themselves to save humanity. Now, 500 years later, those same monsters have returned and it’s up to a lone warrior, Raya, to track down the last dragon in order to finally stop the Druun for good. However, along her journey, she’ll learn that it’ll take more than dragon magic to save the world—it’s going to take trust as well.
