PUBLISHED AUG 11, 2018

Nickelodeon’s long-running children’s series 'Dora the Explorer' is coming to the big screen. The beloved cartoon was given a green-light for a movie remake after 15 long years. Various reports suggest filming is now underway in Australia’s Gold Coast region, with actress Isabela Moner stepping into the intrepid explorer’s well-worn hiking boots. The show 'Dora The Explorer' centers on a young American Latina who, along with her monkey, Boots, faces riddles and characters such as a thieving fox named Swiper as she goes on quests.

Moner has previously starred in movies such as 'Transformers: The Last Knight' and 'Sicario: Day Of The Soldano.' When she was younger, Moner voiced a character on the Dora spinoff series, 'Dora and Friends: Into the City,' so she’s well-versed in the show’s history. The teen star took to Instagram to give fans a sneak peek, posting a picture of her in full Dora gear – complete with her iconic pink t-shirt. "So excited to show you the First Look of me as #DoraTheExplorer," she captioned.
