Avatar 2: Everything We Know About James Cameron's Sequel
Butcher79
Avengers: Endgame may currently be considered the biggest movie ever in cinematic history, but it took a whole decade for the previous holder of that title to topple. James Cameron's Avatar hit theaters in December 2009 and went on to break box office records, bringing in a total of $2,7 billion worldwide. It was a technological breakthrough and a cultural phenomenon, and soon Cameron started talking about his plans not one, but several extensions.
But a decade later, the first Avatar sequel has yet to be released. The film's release date has been pushed back several times, and while it already had a set date, the COVID-19 pandemic has made the future release of all films fairly uncertain, so there's a chance it could be pushed back again.
However, Avatar XNUMX is definitely on the way, and while there are a lot of mysteries in the film, we know quite a bit in terms of cast and plot. So here's everything we know about the Avatar sequels.
Delays, delays, delays
Initially Avatar 2 was set to arrive in 2018 . It didn't work out and the film was pushed back to December 2020. Last May, Avatar 2 was pushed back — and given a new date 17 декабря 2021 года . Pandemic COVID-19 led to the postponement of many films, but the date we are interested in has not changed yet.
Release dates
As for the sequels, here are their release dates:
- ♦Avatar 3: December 22, 2023
- ♦Avatar 4: December 19, 2025
- ♦Avatar 5: December 17, 2027
Winemaking
Production on the first Avatar sequel began in the summer of 2017. Shooting the main part officially ended in November 2019 , and a number of behind-the-scenes images have since been released. Last year, we got to know the Sea Dragon, which the official Avatar Twitter account called "a massive ship that has a lot of other sea vessels on it." More recently, some actor images in a giant pool filled with reflective balls.
The plot of Avatar 2
The Avatar sequel will take place years after the first film, and according to the star Sam Worthington The film will emphasize family over everything else. "It will be Jake [Sally, Worthington's character] eight years later and he has a family now," he said. "The world is larger than the first, but at its core, this is a film about family."
Cameron also stated that the film will explore the vast oceans of Pandora and most of it will be filmed at sea. Cameron has spent "thousands of hours" underwater filming documentaries and aims to bring a sense of realism to the aquatic footage in Avatar 2 "I'm very literal about my underwater world," he said Yahoo . "It has to look like it's real."
Return of actors for Avatar 2
Whether they lived or died in Avatar 1, there are several people who are returning for the sequel. Since this is a sci-fi movie, there are many ways for the deceased to come back to life. Here's who we know is returning to Pandora's land.
- ♦Sam Worthington as Jake Sully
- ♦Sigourney Weaver as Dr. Grace Augustine
- ♦Steven Lang as Miles Quaritch
- ♦Zoe Saldana as Neytiri
New cast for Avatar 2
The next movie won't be entirely focused on the people you already saw in the first movie. One of the important additions to the cast is Kate Winslet , who hasn't worked with director James Cameron since Titanic. Like many new actors, few people know who she portrays other than her name. There are also several new cast members whose names have yet to be revealed. And there are many young actors involved for the sequel, as the film will also focus on the younger Na'vi - including Sally's children.
- ♦Kate Winslet as Ronal
- ♦Michelle Yeoh as Dr. Karina Mog
- ♦Cliff Curtis as Tonovari
- ♦Britain Dalton
- ♦Philip Geleu
- ♦Jamie Flutters
- ♦Bailey Bass

Cast for Avatar 3
For sequels after Avatar 2, little has been confirmed. So far, all that is known is that Michelle Yeoh's character, Dr. Karina Mog, will appear in Avatar 3.
Concept art
While we haven't seen any official images or videos from the Avatar sequel yet, earlier this year some concept art . The pictures were presented by Cameron at a technical exhibition CES in Las Vegas in January and provided a breathtaking glimpse of the film's seascapes.
Vin Diesel might be in it
Rumor has it that Vin Diesel is providing his voice for Avatar 2. Back in April, Diesel visited the set of Avatar and posed for Instagram with director James Cameron. This caused a lot of speculation as to whether he would appear in the film. Nothing has been confirmed at the time of writing. Is there street racing on Pandora?
Avatar 3 could be the last film in the series
The craziest thing about all these Avatar sequels is that James Cameron said: "If Avatar 2 and 3 don't make enough money, there won't be 4 and 5." Even though the sequels are filmed back to back, there is a chance they will never see the light of day.
