The first sequel to James Cameron's massive 2009 blockbuster will be released in December and has been in development for years. It will be exciting to see more of the world as the film is shown underwater, as it remains as stunning as ever. Jake had a weapon in his hand towards the end and there were still threats. The narrative was seen as one of the weaker elements of the original movie.
Not much is known about the movie, even with the first footage. As the promotional campaign ramps up later in the year, there should be more looks at the set pieces.
There's been a lot of interest in seeing what Cameron has in store, but Disney has been very deliberate with their trailer release strategy. In the trailer, there's a lot of action, but it's not very good. The environments are beautiful and should make for great viewing on the big screen. Jake's promise to Neytiri that their family is their fortress hints at an emotional throughline, and it would be great if the movie delivered on that potential. There are several shots of Jake and Neytiri spending time with their children, one of which seems to be human.
During their CinemaCon presentation, the studio showed the first footage from the sequel. The first trailer for The Way of Water is online. The preview has been released online. The theme of this sequel is going to be family.
The trailer was shared on social media by 20th Century Studios. New tech was needed in order to film these scenes.
