Avatar 2 speelt zich 8 jaar later af

Acteur Sam Worthington sprak in een interview met We Got This Covered over de sequels op James Cameron‘s Avatar. Worthington gaf over Avatar 2 onder meer aan dat Sully en zijn familie nieuwe delen van Pandora gaat ontdekken en dat zijn personage al 8 jaar een Na’vi op Pandora is:

“They’re going to be shooting concurrently. The plan is to have some time in between, I think, but these things are always ambiguous until they start. We’re still set to start in the summer, though. James needed time to perfect the scripts. Whenever he says jump I go because he’s the man. I’ve read all the scripts, they’re great. This is going to be Jake eight years later, and he’s got a family now. This film is going to be like nothing you’ve ever seen. The world is bigger than the first one, but essentially, it’s a movie about family. Jake will still have that essence of a kid seeing the world for the first time, but he’s been living in the world for a while now, so what’s this world he’s seeing now for the first time? The film will explore that within this family dynamic.”

De eerste Avatar verscheen in 2009 en is nog steeds de bestverdienende film ooit. Wereldwijd haalde de film ruim $2,78 miljard (ruim €2,04 miljard) op. Hoofdrollen in de sequels worden gespeeld door Zoe Saldana, Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver en Stephen Lang.
