We saw the new 'Avatar 2' footage at D23Expo today. Here's what we know, what it means and more.
“Mandalorian” Season 3, Jude Law’s part in the “Star Wars” universe and Brie Larson’s team of Marvels are among the highlights from Disney’s expo.
“Avatar” centered on the conflict between humans and blue-toned, 12-foot-tall Na’vi. The two species are able to communicate via a program that creates avatars — genetically engineered anatomy that essentially allows human minds to control Na’vi bodies. Sully in the first film is a disabled Marine who comes alive when embodying a Na’vi. At D23 Expo, the cast and Jon Landau, Cameron’s producing partner, said a core theme of the second film is the length we’ll go to protect family.
Things did get a bit more difficult to follow from there, as we were whisked back to an argument between Sully and Neytiri, with children peeping in through holes in their yurt-like shelter. Cameron’s camera showed us the fight from the view of the little ones, implying family conflict, and its affects across generations, will be a theme.
“Avatar’s” success was buoyed by you-have-to-see-it-to-believe-it word of mouth, as the film would go on to become the highest-grossing theatrical release of all time, bringing in more than $2.8 billion at the worldwide box office. It’s a title it lost only briefly to 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame.” The original “Avatar” is set to return to theaters Sept. 23.
At D23 Expo, audiences were clearly ready to welcome back the cast, especially Weaver. The actor, who first worked with Cameron on the 1986 film “Aliens,” has since become a regular collaborator of the director’s, including in the 2021 National Geographic documentary “Secrets of the Whales.” Weaver drew a laugh from the D23 Expo audience when asked about playing a young Na’vi member of the Sully household.
