"The Sullys are no longer in the environment that they know, the rainforest. "And when you get to the reef, there’s a clan we call the Metkayina," continues Landau. The Sullys’ idyllic life is disrupted when the RDA mining operation returns to Pandora, forcing Jake to take the family to "what is perceived as a safe harbor" at the reef. What are the dynamics that parents go through to protect their family?" At the center of each of our sequels is the Sully family. "And if you think about this, there’s really no more universal theme than family. "I think the story of Avatar 2, and the strength of the story, is what Jim always does in any of his movies: he writes in universal themes that are bigger than any one genre," explains Landau. Jake (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) are now parents. with the challenge that each of those four scripts had to individually resolve itself in a story that concludes with a big emotional resolution – but when you look at them as a whole, the connected story arc of all four movies creates an even larger epic saga."Īvatar 2 specifically picks up with the Sully family, and as much time has elapsed in the story world as in reality.

Fit for a king, then.ĭespite the exceedingly long wait – Avatar arrived to smash box-office records back in 2009 – the sequel is nearly upon us. Newcomers onboard include Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams, soon to lead Disney Plus’s Ironheart, alongside Michaela Coel as former Dora Milaje leader Aneka and Tenoch Huerta as the underwater ruler Namor. Rising to the task will be returning stars Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Winston Duke, and Martin Freeman. Backing up comments made by Kevin Feige, production and development VP Nate Moore recently clarified one point: "As hard as it is narratively to figure out what to do, because that’s a big hole, at no point did we consider recasting."
