After the character growth in part 1, 'Avatar 2' will delve deeper into the familial aspect and how the main characters protect their loved ones.
Stars of 'Avatar' continue to reveal snippets of the classic blockbuster's backstory on Reuters.
In 'Avatar: The Way of Water,' the sequel will concentrate on expanding the exploration of Pandora and the theme of family protection. In contrast, the preceding part narrated the conflict over natural resources between humans and the blue Na'vi on the planet Pandora.
At the conclusion of part 1, characters Jake Sully and Neytiri have transitioned into parenthood and are now ready to shield their family from impending threats.
'This love story has evolved,' actor Sam Worthington (portraying Jake Sully) shared with Reuters, 'We are now a family, and truth be told, this film speaks to protecting your family. Whether it's a nuclear family or a communal one, it's the family we (the characters) choose.'
As of now, 'Avatar' remains the highest-grossing film of all time, raking in over $2.8 billion. Apart from the impending release of part 2, there are three more installments planned for release until 2028.
In reality, even director James Cameron himself harbors concerns about the subsequent films failing to capture the same spark as the first one. Nevertheless, many industry experts speculate that 'Avatar 2' will perform admirably post-release.
Taking the scenario of the first installment's debut in 2009, many opine that its success stemmed from its remarkable perspective and groundbreaking cinematography at that time. Consequently, they believe that part 2 might not have anything new to captivate audiences back to theaters. However, it's essential to remember that this is a James Cameron film, and once again, he leads the way in innovation by introducing groundbreaking underwater motion-capture technology.
'Avatar: The Way of Water' is set to officially premiere for audiences on December 16, 2022. It's safe to say that Disney holds high hopes for the upcoming installments of this epochal blockbuster. This is evidenced by Disney's substantial investment of $1 billion for four 'Avatar' films. Although specific budgets for each film are undisclosed, Fox's chairman asserted in 2017 that 'Avatar 2' is likely to become the most expensive film of all time.
