Avatar 2 director William James Cameron has shared more details some his upcoming sci-fi subsequence, which will for the most part take spot underwater every bit we further explore the fictional Atomic number 11'vi major planet of Pandora.

"It sounds kind of nuts, the process I mean," he told Entertainment Weekly. "If Avatar hadn't made so much all-fired money, we'd never brawl this – because it's kinda crazy. […] I do the sea thing when I'm not making movies. So if I could blend my deuce greatest loves – one of which is ocean exploration; the other, feature filmmaking – wherefore wouldn't I?"

The first Embodiment flic came out back in 2009, thusly the sequel is long-awaited. The serial stars Sam Worthington as Jake Sully, a former Marine reversed Na'vi and Zoe Saldana as Na'vi princess Neytiri, alongside big names including Sigourney Weaverbird, Kate Winslet, and Edie Genus Falco.

Cameron added: "My colleagues inside the production really lobbied heavily for us to do it 'dry for wet,' hanging people along wires [rather of filming underwater in a tank car]. I said, 'It's non going to employment. It's non going to spirit real.' I even get them run a screen, where we captured sere for wet, and and then we captured in water, a crude level of our in-water capture. And it wasn't flush close."

Total Film newly revealed the first Avatar 2 plot details along with an exclusive image from the movie, irritating its underwater setting.

Avatar 2 is set to – finally – come happening the big screen on December 16, 2022, with three more sequels determined to follow afterwards that. In the meantime, check out our list of the other forthcoming motion-picture show put out dates that we think out should be on your radar.
