The second installment to the would-be sci-fi saga was supposed to hit theaters in 2014, but then James Cameron was all like what if we had three sequels AND shot performance capture underwater? Improvements in technology meant bumps in the schedule. Now the first of the first of four planned Avatar sequels is set to premiere on Dec. 18, 2021. In 2022, Cameron said that about ten minutes of "gunplay action" were cut from the film as he was no longer inclined to "fetishize the gun", although he is known as an "action filmmaker". [77] Writing Los Angeles Times critic Justin Chang hailed Cameron as "one of the few Hollywood visionaries who actually merits that much-abused term" and said the film will "stun most of his naysayers into silence", while also praising the film's tenderness and sentimentality. [255] Entertainment Weekly critic Leah Greenblatt summarized her review of The Way of Water saying that it "created its own whole-cloth reality, a meticulous world-building as astonishing and enveloping as anything we've ever seen on screen — until that crown is passed, inevitably, in December 2024, the projected release date for Avatar 3."

Although the last two sequels have been reportedly greenlit, in a November 2017 interview Cameron said: "Let's face it, if Avatar 2 and 3 don't make enough money, there's not going to be a 4 and 5". [53] Thewlis later confirmed this in February 2018, stating "they're making 2 and 3, they're gonna see if people go and see them, and then they'll make 4 and 5". [274] Conversely in November 2018, Weaver said, after the first two sequels had completed main photography, that she was currently "busy doing Avatar 4 and 5", which several media outlets interpreted as confirmation that the last two sequels had started filming. [275] [276] [277] Weaver also reprises her role as Dr. Grace Augustine, despite Weaver's saying in 2014 that she would not do so, though she and Cameron confirmed prior to then that she would return in the sequels: [6] [15] [16] she appears in this film in a video recording and in a spiritual vision in which she meets with Kiri.

Tuk fell down a bulkhead and Neytiri jumped in to rescue her, but they ended up being trapped inside. Although Tuk and Neytiri were terrified, they navigated through the SeaDragon's flooding and tilting hallways but found themselves trapped. Making use of bioluminescent squids, Kiri eventually found both and led them out of the ship, after which the whole family reunited holding on to Payakan's fin. Costume designer Deborah L. Scott stated about the Recoms that they were inspired by real-world military: " They're like the Special Forces." [8] They are also reminiscent of the MACV-SOG (whose logo features a human skull as well), which conducted the same kind of unconventional operations during the Vietnam War.

Matt Gerald as Corporal Lyle Wainfleet, a human mercenary who fought and died in the RDA's battle against the Na'vi in 2154 where he was trampled by a Hammerhead titanothere. Following the RDA's return to Pandora, he is revived as a Recombinant and placed under Quaritch's command. Gerald was announced to reprise his role in August 2017.

Bridgehead began construction around 2169, just after the RDA returned to Pandora after 15 years. Several spacecraft such as the Interstellar Vehicle Manifest Destiny, instead of remaining in lunar orbit, descended into the atmosphere and directed a stream of decelerating exhaust from their engines into the jungle near the Omatikaya clan's territory, over the Eastern Sea. The powerful energy from its engines instantly burned the forest and killed any animals within a radius of several dozen kilometers, and the burned land formed the foundation for the construction of a new city. Huge landers filled with bulldozers and AMP suits were lowered onto the glowing rubble of the jungle, removing remnants of vegetation and animal remains. Called by some the last hope for a dying Earth, Bridgehead embodies the RDA's motto: "Building Tomorrow." Disney extensively promoted Avatar: The Way of Water across multiple media platforms, including merchandising, consumer products, theme parks and advertising. [158]

The skimwing and the ikran share a common evolutionary ancestor. Unlike whales or dolphins, skimwings cannot drown. They breathe using their gills while underwater, but inhale air through two nostrils located on top of their heads during flight. They mostly feed on fish and small aerial creatures.

What we do know is that Avatar 2 takes place years after the first movie, and introduces the next generation of characters: a human child born at the Hell’s Gate military complex, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri’s (Zoe Saldana) children, and the children of a new Na’vi clan. Judging by the lush lagoon landscapes in the concept art, the fact that the cast members had to learn how to dive, and that motion-capture technology had to evolve to shoot underwater, audiences can expect a focus on the Pandoran Ocean.
