This is all you need to know about the sequel to ‘Avatar’, which will hit theaters very soon and promises to revolutionize cinema… again.
‘Avatar 2’ is coming! It seems incredible, but more than ten years have passed since ‘Avatar’ premiered, for many one of the best films in the history of cinema and James Cameron’s commitment to move cinema in a new direction, and we are already waiting its sequel: ‘Avatar 2’, originally titled ‘Avatar: The Sense of Water’, will arrive at the end of 2022. We collect all the information you need to know: release date, synopsis, trailer, duration, official images, and when ‘Avatar 2’ opens on Disney+ for those who are more advanced. Welcome back to Pandora!
Over the last decade, ‘Avatar’ was the highest-grossing movie in history (until ‘Avengers: Endgame’ snatched the honor in 2019 ) and, despite not being enthusiastic about the critics, seeing the production on the big screen, with its revolutionary effects, it was a truly immersive experience. As Jordi Costa wrote in the review of ‘Avatar’ in PHOTOGRAMS: “The exceptionality of ‘Avatar’ is not, in fact, not even in its conceptual aggressiveness – in other words: this is not ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ (Stanley Kubrick, 1968)–; nor on the surfaces of his design (here, the shadow of Valerian, the space-time agent of Mézières and Christin, continues to be elongated). Butonly a Numantine blindness could deny its foundational relevance by opening a new chapter of inexhaustible possibilities in the total (con)fusion of the photographic image and the synthetic image”.
The second part was announced for 2015, but due to several problems (it is a very technical film, with great special effects), its release has been delayed. And beware, that James Cameron is already defending the three hours that ‘Avatar 2’ lasts before the film has even been released: “I can already imagine what they are going to write in the critics: ‘The agonizingly long three-hour film.’It’s like, give me a fucking break. I’ve seen my kids sit down and watch five hour-long episodes in a row. Here’s the big social paradigm shift that has to happen: It’s okay to get up to pee.” James Cameron , who Might Not Direct ‘Avatar 4’ and ‘Avatar 5’As he has recently dropped, he is not joking with his new job.
For fans and for the uninitiated, for defenders and detractors, we bring together everything we know about ‘Avatar 2’, a late sequel that will mark the return to the big screen of the super box office hit James Cameron and will begin the path of a saga that will It took quite a while to start. After years of waiting (which is why it’s still good for you to review our ‘Avatar’ ending explained: what happened to Jake Sully? ) we will finally get new adventures starring the Na’vi on Pandora. But let’s start with the first: When is ‘Avatar 2’ released? What’s the story about? Which characters will return and who is joining the cast? Do we already have images or trailer? We already have 5 reasons to see ‘Avatar: The Sense of Water’and some more have been presented to us: the first reactions of ‘Avatar 2’ have been most enthusiastic.
‘Avatar 2’: Release date
The release date of ‘Avatar: The Sense of Water ‘ will be December 16, 2022. As confirmed by 20th Century Studios in early 2022, the date remains intact and there will be no further delays. We will have a Christmas in Pandora!
In addition, for those who wanted to return to the saga early, the first film, ‘Avatar’, was re-released in theaters on September 30, once again leading the box office in our country thirteen years after its original theatrical release. And we had a good surprise: the rerun of ‘Avatar’ featured post-credits scenes from ‘The Sense of Water’.
So far, the biggest advance of the film has been behind closed doors at Disney’s D23 convention held in Los Angeles between September 9 and 10, and this was told in The Guardian: “The public was able to see real images of the film itself. A giant James Cameron – the filmmaker is currently in New Zealand finishing the film – was looking out from the giant screen at an audience of 7,000 (…) Then the footage was released and suddenly we remember exactly why ‘Avatar’ caused such a stir in the first place: that glorious overload for the senses that comes from 3D movie-making that approaches the stratosphere.”
A preview of ‘Avatar 2’ could also be seen on Thursday, October 6 at the Busan Festival in South Korea, where a 15-minute showreel of exclusive footage of the sequel was shown with 3-D glasses, sponsored by the lead producer, Jon Landau. James Cameron appeared at the event via video call to explain that his sequel attempts to convey the ongoing collapse and threats to the world’s marine ecosystems. The director said that he wanted to convey how the marine ecosystem affects human conditions in the new sequel. “It’s a story set on Pandora, but it’s also happening in our world,” Cameron said.
‘Avatar 2’: Duration
The sequel ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ will last a total of 3 hours and 10 minutes, or what is the same, 190 minutes. Thus, it surpasses its predecessor and currently becomes the longest film in the franchise.
‘Avatar 2’: Synopsis
From the original title ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’, a name that was already mentioned in 2018, the sequel to ‘Avatar’ will surprise us with its story and expanding the limits of the fantastic world we know. James Cameron has been giving us notes on it: “The story of the sequels will follow Jake, Neytiri and his children. It is more of a family saga and its problems with humans.” Cameron has insisted that we will see new characters, new locations of Pandora and, above all, the oceans of the planet. James Cameron is carrying out a new way of recording underwater, and plans to revolutionize, once again, the world of digital effects in cinema.
Producer Jon Landau made it clear: the movie will focus on family. “This is the story of the Sully family and what one person does to keep their family together. Jake and Neytiri have a family in this movie, they are forced to leave their home, so they go outside and explore different regions of Pandora., spending time in the water, around the water, on the water… I think the reason people turn to movies more than ever today is because they want to escape, escape from the world we live in, escape the pressures they have in their lives.
The latest news, also said by Landau himself, reveal that Sully’s family arrives at a reef where there will be a new clan, called Metkayina. The change of venue will mean that the Sullys will not be in a safe environment, it will be both a cultural and an environmental change. Miles Socorro, alias Spider, belongs to his new family, a human boy played by Jack Champion of whom we already have this image:
