The hardships they face to preserve themselves and their people ten years after the events of Avatar (2009). In order to set the stage for the following two movies, James Cameron plans to explore the oceans of Pandora.
Over the years, Avatar has become a huge blockbuster in China. Here it has so far brought in a respectable $261.8 million (it has been released there several times).
Imax theatres, a favourite exhibitor for Avatar fans, will be part of The Way of Water’s presence in China.
Sources claim that negotiations to release the film in China have been ongoing for weeks. But the official statement only surfaced two days after the shocking news. Bob Iger will take over as CEO of the Walt Disney Company again, ousting Bob Chapek.
In the sequel, a number of other characters from the original movie will also appear.
Including Sigourney Weaver, but some will take on different roles. James Cameron has said that Avatar: The Way of Water would have its own concluding arc and won’t end on a cliffhanger. Despite the fact that it is the second instalment of a planned five-film trilogy. Instead, it will act as a link that makes connections between the movies. To show the films that are clear but not essential to understanding the plot of each movie.

After Iger negotiated a deal to buy most of Rupert Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox. It included the film company 20th Century Fox, Disney inherited the Avatar franchise.
One of the most expensive production budgets in Hollywood history and in the world of digital entertainment, The Way of Water is estimated to be in the $350 million to $400 million level.
