I think he'll be ok. He's still built very well. Maybe some trap work with a little chest and he's good to go.

Yes, he doesn't have to be ripped just huge, which is easier.

I mean he does need to be ripped, but it’s a good thing that he already is.

Everyone forgets how old he has become. It isn’t so easy to just strap the muscle back on and his age makes performance enhancers at least a little risky.

Nah, he's done. They are just gonna slap a body suit on him or use bad cgi like in Moana.

The Rock could not have matched the physique of the Maui bodysuit. It isn't about being "done". He put on 30 pounds of muscle to play Mark Kerr in The Smashing Machine. If you compare that to the Maui bodysuit, the bodysuit is still much larger.

It's physically impossible for him to put on that much muscle.

You're trying to compare cartoon/fictional bodies to real people and it's just not going to ever match 1:1. Kratos is also a massive dude. Even in Bautista's peak he would not have the build of Kratos. At least not the bulky body version. Maybe the lean body version.

I always thought Maui was just tubby

That looks like a powerlifter build to me (lots of muscle underneath quite a bit of fat) as opposed to just a fat build with not much muscle underneath the fat. 

Maui has visibly large traps, delts, and biceps which a simply fat person lacking muscle would not have.

Yeah. Even the Mountain doesn't reach that level of build and he's an absolute unit of a man

Petr Petras MAYBE gets closer

A lot of Hawaiian men are built like that naturally. Just naturally bulky. It is a different look than carefully sculpted glamor muscles

He’s still 6’4 240 right now and it’s his new “lean” look. Dude will be fine lol

You're being voted down but you're correct. He downsized on medical advice.

He can still look big but he won't be his old size (neither was Arnie in Terminator 2).

Eh he's as skinny as MM from the Boys. I'm not falling for that obviously heavy edited photo if him flexing his arms recently when he looks very skinny when he's on some gala thing are carpet premier or some crap.
