Answer: Avatar: The Way of Water
‘Avatar: The Way of Water‘ is a forthcoming James Cameron epic science-fiction film produced by 20th Century Studios. Following Avatar, it is the second film in Cameron’s Avatar franchise (2009). Cameron is co-producing the film with Jon Landau, and Josh Friedman was initially announced as Cameron’s co-writer; however, it was later revealed that Cameron, Friedman, Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, and Shane Salerno all participated in the writing process of all sequels before being assigned separate scripts, making the eventual writing credits unclear.
Cast members Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, and Giovanni Ribisi return from the previous film, while Sigourney Weaver takes on a new role. Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Edie Falco, Michelle Yeoh, Jemaine Clement, and Vin Diesel have joined the group as newcomers.
Cameron, who mentioned in 2006 that if Avatar was successful, he would like to develop sequels, officially confirmed the first two sequels in 2010 following the enormous success of the original film, with The Way of Water aiming for a 2014 date.
However, the extension of three more sequels (to the first) and the need to establish new technology in order to film underwater performance capture scenes, a feat that has never been accomplished, resulted in substantial postponements to allow the crew more time to work on the writing, preproduction, and visual effects.
Preliminary filming began on August 15, 2017, in Manhattan Beach, California, followed by principal photography on September 25, 2017, in New Zealand, concurrent with Avatar 3; filming ended in late September 2020, after more than three years of shooting, despite production being halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The film’s theatrical release has been delayed eight times, the most recent being on July 23, 2020; it is now scheduled for December 16, 2022, with the three sequels following on December 20, 2024, December 18, 2026, and December 22, 2028, respectively.
