On Tuesday, James Cameron finally gave the sequel to “Avatar,” the highest-grossing movie of all time, its long-awaited premiere in London.
Audiences are transported back to the enchanted land of Pandora in “Avatar: The Way of Water,” where in the original movie the indigenous blue Na’vi people fought against human colonists for control of the moon’s natural riches.
In “The Way of Water,” which takes place more than ten years later, Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana reprise their roles as Jake Sully and Neytiri, who are now parents to five kids.
The “Sky People,” as the Na’vi refer to humans, have returned and are hunting Sully, disrupting their tranquil existence in the paradise-like jungle. Sully, Neytiri, and their kids migrate to a remote area in search of safety with the oceanic Metkayina clan. They do this because they want to protect their family and their tribe.
The family, whose bodies and skills are more suited to living in the jungle, must quickly learn how to survive while fending off the threat of their approaching enemy.
At the movie’s world premiere, Worthington told Reuters, “This was a labour of love spread out over a decade, so it’s amazing to finally be able to share it.”
“This is a heartbreaking story, it’s mighty, it’s really powerful, and you hope that it connects (with audiences).” “We’ve really broadened the world, we’ve expanded this familial unit,”
Replacing her character was “emotional,” according to Saldana.
It was both thrilling and terrifying, she said, because everyone was about to face a brand-new task as a result of Jim’s evident decision to raise the stakes for himself.
Kiri, Neytiri and Sully’s adopted daughter, is portrayed by Sigourney Weaver. Dr. Grace Augustine, who Weaver portrayed in the first film, is her biological mother.
She remarked, “The whole thing was such a fantastic adventure.”
With more over $2.9 billion in worldwide ticket sales since its 2009 release, “Avatar” is the highest-grossing movie of all time.
Up until 2028, four “Avatar” movies are scheduled.
Producer Jon Landau stated, “I never had any question that this day would arrive because I’d read all four of the scripts… but I think that the grandeur of the endeavour, of the world-building… establishing this whole new level of detail… that was challenging.
