It's the alternate film in Cameron's Avatar ballot, following Avatar( 2009). Cameron is producing the film with Jon Landau, with Josh Friedman firstly blazoned as Cameron's-writer; it was latterly blazoned that Cameron, Friedman, Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, and Shane Salerno took a part in the jotting process of all conclusions before being attributed separate scripts, making the eventual jotting credits unclear. Cast members Sam Worthington, Zoe Sardana, Stephen Lang, and Giovanni Ribose duplication their places from the original film, with Sigourney Weaver returning in a different part.

Cameron, who had stated in 2006 that he'd like to make conclusions to Avatar if it was successful, blazoned the first two conclusions in 2010 following the wide success of the first film, with The Way of Water aiming for a 2014 release. still, the addition of three further conclusions( to the first one) and the necessity to develop new technology in order to retake performance prisoner scenes aquatic, a feat Norway fulfilled ahead, led to significant detainments to allow the crew further time to work on the jotting, preproduction, and visual goods. primary firing for the film started in Manhattan Beach, California, on August 15, 2017, followed by top photography contemporaneously with icon 3 in New Zealand on September 25, 2017; photographing concluded in late September 2020, after over three times of firing, despite product being intruded due to the COVID- 19 epidemic. The film's theatrical release has been subject to eight detainments, with the rearmost being on July 23, 2020; it's presently planned for a release on December 16, 2022.
Development - In 2006, Cameron stated that if Avatar was successful, he hoped to make two conclusions to the film. In 2010, he said the film's wide success verified that he'd do so. The conclusions were firstly listed for release in December 2014 and 2015. He included certain scenes in the first film for unborn story follow- ups. Cameron planned to shoot the conclusions back- to- reverse and to begin work" once the novel is nailed down". He stated that the conclusions would widen the macrocosm while exploring other moons of Polyphemus. The first effect would concentrate on the ocean of Pandora and also feature further of the rainforest. He intended to capture footage for this effect at the bottom of the Mariana Trench using a Underwater submersible. In 2011, Cameron stated that he was just starting to design the ocean ecosystem of Pandora and the other worlds to be included in the story. The plot, although continuing the environmental theme of the first film, would not be" strident" since the film will concentrate on entertainment.
The conclusions were verified as continuing to follow the characters of Jake and Nigiri in December 2009. Cameron inferred that the humans would return as the antagonists of the story. In 2011, Cameron stated his intention to retake the conclusions at a advanced frame rate than the assiduity standard 24 frames per second, in order to add a jacked sense of reality. In 2013, Cameron blazoned that the conclusions would be mugged in New Zealand, with performance prisoner to take place in 2014. An agreement with the New Zealand government needed at least one world premiere to be held in Wellington and at leastNZ$ 500 million( roughlyUS$ 410 million at December 2013 exchange rates) to be spent on product exertion in New Zealand, including live- action filming and visual goods. The New Zealand government blazoned it would raise its birth duty rebate for moviemaking from 15 to 20, with 25 available to transnational products in some cases and 40 for New Zealand products( as defined by section 18 of the New Zealand Film Commission Act 1978).
In 2012, Cameron mentioned a possible third effect for the first time; it was officially verified the ensuing time. Cameron was also looking to release Avatar 2 in 2015, but latterly that time, product was tallied for 2014, with the film to be released in December 2016, and to be followed by the two other conclusions in 2017 and 2018. By 2015, the listed release dates for the conclusions were each delayed by another time, with the first effect anticipated to be released in December 2017; this was due to the jotting process, which Cameron called" a complex job". The following month, Fox blazoned a farther release detention. In February 2016, product of the conclusions was listed to begin in April 2016 in New Zealand. In April 2016, Cameron blazoned at CinemaCon that there will be four icon conclusions, all of which will be mugged contemporaneously. The four icon conclusions partake a$ 1 billion budget(e.g.$ 250 million each film).
New crew members include photographer Russell Carpenter, who worked with Cameron on True falsehoods and Titanic, and Arshia Kamath, who'll act as art director on all four conclusions. Kirk Knack, author of Performance Freediving International, worked as a free- diving coach for the cast and crew for the aquatic scenes. Several brutes introduced in the theme demesne magnet Avatar Flight of Passage will be featured in the film.
Writing- In 2012, Cameron stated that the conclusions were being written as" separate stories that have an overall bow inclusive of the first film", with the alternate having a clear conclusion instead of a thriller to the coming film. Screenwriters were also blazoned Josh Friedman for the first, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver for the alternate, and Shane Salerno for the third. In April 2014, Cameron anticipated to finish the( also) three scripts within six weeks, stating that all three conclusions would be in product contemporaneously and were still slated for December 2016 to 2018 releases. He stated that although Friedman, Jaffa and Silver, and Salerno are eachco-writing one effect with him, they at first worked together on all three scripts" I did not assign each pen which film they were going to work on until the last day. I knew if I assigned them their scripts ahead of time, they'd tune out every time we were talking about the other movie." Cameron added that they had" worked out every beat of the story across all three flicks so it all connects as one, sort of, three- film saga", a creative process that was inspired by his gests in the jotting room of his TV series Dark Angel. The jotting took longer than anticipated, forcing Cameron to delay the release of the flicks further in 2015.
In December 2015, Cameron stated in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, saying" I am in the process of doing another pass through all three scripts Just refining. That is in resemblant with the design process. The design process is veritably mature at this point. We have been designing for about a time and a half. All the characters, settings and brutes are all enough important( set). On February 11, 2017, Cameron blazoned that the jotting of all four conclusions was complete. In a November 26 interview the same time, he estimated that the scripts had taken four times to write overall.
Comparing the themes of the conclusions to the original, Cameron stated that" It'll be a natural extension of all the themes, and the characters, and the spiritual swings. principally, if you loved the first movie, you are gon na love these pictures, and if you abominated it, you are presumably gon na detestthese.However, and you said latterly you abominated it, you are presumably gon na love these", If you loved it at the time. He latterly compared the conclusions to The Godfather ballot, calling it" a generational family saga. It's a durability of the same characters and about what happens when soldiers, willing to go on self-murder charges and vault off escarpments on to the tails of big orange Torus, grow up and have their own kiddies. Now the kiddies are the change makers. It's intriguing."
Agitating the character of Tuck in a February 2019 interview, Cameron mentioned that she was eight times old, and that the film would feature a scene between Jake and Nigiri taking place from Tuck's perspective" There is a three- runner argument scene between Jake and Entire, a connubial disagreement, veritably, veritably critical to the plot. I wound up shooting it all from the point of view of the 8- time-old caching under the structure and peeking in. Having gone through the experience with( Sam Worthington) on Avatar, I now knew how to write the Jake character going forward across the emotional rollercoaster of the coming four pictures." In a December 2019 interview, Lang stated that his character was always meant to return in the conclusions, as Cameron had participated with him" that Quartic had a future" while shooting the original film.
