The release of the movie Avatar 2 (2020) is scheduled for December 2021. Filming the second part of the film about the Na’vi tribe living on the planet in the constellation Alpha Centauri was announced before the launch of the first series. However, according to the statement of the chief director Cameron, he will judge the feasibility of the project only after analyzing the rental amounts. The 2009 avatar was the first film that managed to surpass the box office of the Titanic, and the scriptwriter and director had to keep a promise by continuing to shoot the story. The rental has collected nearly 3 billion dollars with investments in the picture of 240 million. It is known that the sequel, released in 2021, will not be the last series, and at least 4 more pictures are planned. All the actors whose heroes survived in the previous part were invited to shoot in the sequel.
Plot
The continuation of the beloved story about the brave Jake Sally, who finally moved to the body of an avatar created from the DNA of his twin brother and local Aboriginal people, unfolds in the same picturesque landscapes of Pandora. In the second part, Jake is involved with his beloved Neytiri and the whole family: two sons Neteyam and Lo’ak and daughter Tuktire.
The central idea, in addition to opposing earthlings, is family values. The events of the second part take place in the plot 8 years after the first episode. Cameron commented on the bet on promoting the idea of raising children and participating in their lives ambiguously. He believes that this can be both a deafening success of the franchise, and an enchanting failure, but the idea was chosen, so the results will be known in December 2020, when assessing the box office.
Although in the first film, the inhabitants of Pandora won the right to live on their home planet, led by Jake, by defeating the armada of greedy earthlings, people's plans for the extraction of anobtanium have not changed. This becomes an occasion for new clashes and attacks on the peaceful life of Aboriginal people, existing in harmony with the rich animal and plant world of their native land.
The sequel will take place not only in the wooded areas owned by the native Neytiri tribe, but also on the territory of marine reefs and in the watery expanses of Pandora. The reefs of the planet are inhabited by the inhabitants of the Metkaain clan, who, along with the blue-skinned Sally family, will become the protagonists of the plot.
In the second part of the saga, a new central character will appear - Tonovari, the leader of the Metcain reef clan, his role will be played by Cliff Curtis. The fact that he will occupy a significant place in the plot, says the duration of the contract. It is planned that Tonovari will appear in subsequent parts of the Avatar. Another "stellar" acquisition of Cameron - Una Chaplin, daughter of the legendary Charlie Chaplin.Her heroine's name is Varang; before that, the actress starred in the TV series Sherlock and Game of Thrones. Also in the film, Kate Winslet will star her character Ronal.
Admirers of Sigourney Weaver’s creativity will be pleased to know that the death of her heroine in the first part did not become the reason for the final departure from the picture. The long-standing friendship of the actress with the main director and screenwriter J. Cameron ensured her the right to a “second” life. However, according to the confession of the actress herself, it is unlikely that she can name the upcoming role simple. She is destined to be embodied in a new avatar, due to the fact that part of the heroine’s soul after death in the first part went to the Holy Tree of Life of the people’’s. Ava will give Grace Augustine a new blue-skinned body.
Another wonderful “resurrection” awaits the main “villain” of the first part of Colonel Miles Kurchitch. How the hero managed to survive after he was pierced by the well-aimed arrow of Neytiri, and he was left to die in an atmosphere unsuitable for life on earth, remains a mystery. But the director does not discover this, and James Cameron did not begin to change the beloved image of the bloodthirsty and greedy colonel to another villain.
Along with famous heroes, the actions of Avatar 2 are attended by the children of Sally and Neytiri, two sons and a daughter, a group of their teenage friends from the Omikikaya and Metkaiyan clans. Javier Socorro, an earthly guy who was born at the abandoned Hell's Gate base in a family of scientists who remained on Pandora after the battle, joined them in the company.
Details from the director
Back in 2010, James Cameron revealed some details of the events of Avatar 2, saying that most of the filming will be done under water. Terrestrial shots served as the prototype of the Pandora oceans, for this purpose the director even descended into the Mariana Trench in a single bathyscaphe, where he made documentary filming. As he explained, to "get inspiration" and a sense of realism of great ocean depths.
For underwater filming of Avatar 2, motion capture technology is used for the first time, which has shown itself well in the first film. When a huge number of sensors are attached to the costumes of heroes, recording the movement of each muscle of the actor. But the aquatic environment set the team new tasks that had to be solved during the filming. The official trailer for the film is still not available at the box office, but the Internet is replete with a large number of fakes on the topic of blue-skinned and the possible development of events.
According to producer John Landau, advances in computer graphics allow you to "draw" an aquatic environment, but they shoot Avatar 2 in real water, in order to comply with the credibility of the movement of actors under the ocean. For this purpose, the characters in the film plunge into deep pools.
The sequel will show new varieties of the amazing animal and plant world of Pandora, namely its underwater kingdom, the drawing and development of which has been given great attention.
In 2012, J. Cameron spent $ 16 million to buy a 2,500-acre plot of land in New Zealand, which will be the location of the filming of the land part of Pandora.
Cameron said that simultaneously with the second part, work is underway on the filming of the third, which is scheduled for release a year later. The actions of Avatar 3 will extend to the entire stellar system of Alpha Centauri, going beyond the oceans and islands of the planet. Presumably, simultaneously with the release of Avatar 2, trailers for subsequent episodes of the story will appear.
Permanent premiere transfer
The initial release date for the sequel, according to Cameron, was planned for 2014. But even to the later announced by John Landau in December 2018, the shooting of the picture did not end.
According to information posted on the Bleedingcool website, the latest transfer of Avatar 2's premiere is due to James Cameron’s over-employment in 3D titanic filming, which requires constant technological innovation.
The premiere of the second part of Avatar in Russian was to take place, as well as the English version, on December 18, 2020, but the Disney film company postponed the release of the picture to December 17, 2021, thereby postponing the premiere of the following parts for a year.
What is the reason? The fact is that Disney is preparing three parts of the legendary Star Wars, but which will become a completely new and different from the previous parts trilogy.

Franchise Budget Avatar
A total of about $ 1 billion is planned to be spent on shooting the remaining parts of the Avatar. With an equilibrium distribution between the remaining 4 series for each, 250 million are obtained. The rental of the remaining parts was announced for 2023, 2025 and 2027. Whether the director and his team will be able to invest in the allocated budget has not yet been disclosed. Only one thing is known for certain that Cameron rented for 5 years one of the most expensive MBS Media Cumpus sites in Southern California.
The chosen film set has a tough policy and supports various environmental “green” movements. MBS Media Cumpus is committed to the use of paints, chemicals and advocates for the conservation of natural resources. This led to additional investments in the installation of solar panels, designed to provide solar energy for the entire process of filming the film.
