Cameron shot many sequences underwater with specially designed cameras.
The new trailer for Avatar: The Way of Water includes a slew of gorgeous new images from the film that show how important Pandora’s oceans and aquatic life will be to the story of how Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldaa) started a family in the years following the first Avatar
Sigourney Weaver, Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaa, Stephen Lang, CCH Pounder, and Giovanni Ribisi are among those repeating their roles from the original film. Worthington plays Jake Sully, who left his human body to marry Saldaa’s Neytiri and live on Pandora with her.
The film’s final length is unknown, but it is expected to be longer than three hours. In May, Cameron told Empire: “I don’t want anyone complaining about length while binge-watching [television] for eight hours… It’s fine to get up and pee.”
Cameron will also direct more films in the Avatar universe, beginning with The Seed Bearer in 2024 and continuing with a fourth and fifth film in 2026 and 2028, respectively.
