Disney fans get ready, Moana might be getting a sequel.

But it looks like the film will be a little different to the first outing, focusing instead on a ‘Latina princess’.

And it has been claimed Lin-Manuel Miranda is in talks for the movie, and has ‘held discussions’ with the company.

The 39-year-old’s dad appeared to let slip about the news in a chat with Page Six, explaining: ‘He is talking to Disney about a sequel to ‘Moana,’ but the movie would be about a Latina princess.’

If the whole thing goes ahead – and we really hope it does – this will be the first ever Latina Disney princess.

Hamilton’s Lin composed the music for the first film, which followed the story of a Polynesian teenager – aka Moana – as she sailed across the ocean to save the people on her island.

He performed We Know The Way on the soundtrack, and received a string of nominations – Golden Globe, Oscar, and Grammy Award nods – for the song ‘How Far I’ll Go’.

And he’s basically the reason you’ve had ‘Moannnnnnaaaaaaaa’ stuck in your head for the last two years.

So we seriously can’t wait to see what he comes up with next.

Disney have yet to speak publicly about the claims, but seeing as the original film grossed more than $600million (£465m), we wouldn’t be surprised if plans are already underway and songs have already been penned.

Lin might be a little busy in the future, with discussions for another Mary Poppins film currently in the ‘early stages’.

He starred as Jack in Mary Poppins returns, alongside Emily Blunt and Julie Walters, and the gang could be getting back together again on the big screen soon.

Discussing a sequel, director Rob Marshall explained: ‘It is early stages, but I will say right now that there were eight books, so there’s a lot of great material still to mine.

‘That’s what we worked from, those incredible eight books of P.L. Travers. So, you know…

‘Listen, how many ‘Star Wars’ films have there been, you know what I mean? Or James Bond films.

‘If there’s a great character and story to tell, why not?’

Why not indeed…
