Avatar 2 Plot

Alongside the title announcement, we got the first official synopsis for the sequel, yet it uncovered nothing we didn’t already know

“Jake Sully lives with his newfound family formed on the planet of Pandora. Once a familiar threat returns to finish what was previously started, Jake must work with Neytiri and the army of the Na’vi race to protect their planet,” it reads.

We likewise know that despite the fact that there are set to be three sequels after this one, every film will be a stand-alone story with Landau saying that “the journey across all four movies will create a connected saga”.

We likewise know there’s been a bespoke sign language created for the film by Baby Driver’s CJ Jones, a deaf actor who’s been hired to create a “new Na’vi sign language”.

At CinemaCon, Cameron hyped up the big-screen experience of the movie. “[We’re] pushing limits even farther with high frame rate, higher resolution 3D and greater reality in our visual effects,” Cameron teased.

“I wanted our return to Pandora to be something really special. Every shot is designed for the biggest screen, highest resolution and most immersive 3D available. I think we pulled it off.”
