After years of postponement and very little information about the film, the Avatar: The Way of Water team gave us the first ever proper look at the film with a teaser last month. 

According to the teaser, it seems like the sequel will explore other parts of Pandora, diving into the oceans, and introducing us to new tribes. It was already reported that director James Cameron has done years of underwater research as the film demands a lot of underwater sequences.

The Way of Water sees the return of cast members Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Stephen Lang, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Giovanni Ribisi, and Matt Gerald. Sigourney Weaver will reportedly come back as a different character for the sequel.

Joining the recurring cast members are Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Edie Falco, Jemaine Clement, Michelle Yeoh, and Vin Diesel. With more than a decade of mounting hype and expectations, Avatar: The Way of Water is currently scheduled to release on 16 December 2022.
