As part of its CinemaCon presentation this morning, Disney Studios has confirmed “Avatar: The Way of Water” as the title of the first of James Cameron’s four planned “Avatar” sequels.
They also confirmed the teaser trailer for the film will premiere in cinemas with Marvel Studios’ “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” next week. The following week the teaser will be released online officially.
In addition, Cameron’s original “Avatar” is set to be re-released in theaters on September 23rd with remastered picture and sound.
Producer Jon Landau was on hand saying each of the planned four sequel will play out as a standalone story and feature its own conclusion – allowing for an emotional resolution to every film. The journey across all the films will create a larger connected saga.
Cameron wasn’t on hand but did appear in a video saying every shot of the new films were designed for the biggest screen and highest resolution: “We wanted to push the limits of what theaters can do.”
In the film, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) 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 (Zoe Saldana) and the army of the Na’vi race to protect their planet.
“Avatar: The Way of Water” opens everywhere on December 16th.
