Até o momento, temos poucos detalhes sobre Avatar 2, entretanto, isso está se tornando ainda melhor que o filme original. Todavia, o mundo de Avatar passa em um mundo alienígena chamado Pandora. Lá é habitado por alienígenas azuis com códigos indígenas conhecidos como Na’vi.

However, its sequel was originally planned for release in 2014 and aims to offer a more complex story that gives more details about both Pandora and the natives who live there. And well, we know that the new film has been in the works for years, and it's clear that James Cameron's Avatar 2 is full of promise.

James Cameron's Avatar is still the highest-grossing film of all time, breaking several box office records after its release in 2009. Early on, Cameron originally began work on the film in 1994, where he wrote an 80-page treatment. Part of the reason it took 15 years to move from script to screen was the need to use new visual effects technology that needed time to mature before it matched Cameron's vision for the finished film. Of course, we can't expect less than that, after all, using all that in mind, it's understandable that Avatar 2 also took more than a decade to make.

More detailed story in Avatar 2

Something that hooks fans is the story about what is being seen. That is, the story of Avatar 2 seems to have more details than its predecessor in almost every aspect! While Avatar had a fairly straightforward narrative, the sequel promises complexity. Bringing in human heroes and Na'vi villains. The main focus of the new story is family, specifically the family of Jake and Neytiri, the two protagonists of the first film.

The plot, broadly speaking, will involve them being forced to leave their home and head to regions of Pandora that haven't been shown on screen before. A big part of the story's theme will be about how far people will go to keep their family together - an interesting concept given that, in the new story, Neytiri and Jake will have an adopted human son in their family by the name of Spider. This added emotional depth should help lift the film above some of the less-praised aspects of the original Avatar.

Bringing Pandora's New Ocean World

Avatar 2 brings with it a detail that will delight everyone, presenting us with the highlights of the oceans, with extensive sections of the story on Pandora's beaches and underwater. In addition, Cameron has already mentioned in interviews that the intention is to present something similar to the floating mountains of the original film. So, things with a visually spectacular environment, but also as a setting for the return of the story.

That is, this whole structure once again involved the development of a new technology for filming, using motion capture from actors who are actually underwater. This was supposedly to make the scenes look more visually real than would be possible in a so-called “dry-to-wet” setup with actors on wires.

We will have more depth in the culture of the Na'vi

Now, another thing that makes everything more exciting about the new movie is the fact that it will show us more detailed world-building. With this, we will also have more depth in the culture of the Na'vi. Actor Cliff Curtis is bringing the Maori influence from his own cultural heritage to his role as Tonowari. Leader of a Na'vi clan called Metkayina, who live on Pandora's reefs and who supposedly may have thicker fins and tails. Other aspects are hinted at by returning characters. The return of Sigourney Weaver suggests that Dr. Grace Augustine may have somehow survived the events of the first film.

So overall Avatar 2 promises to be as visually spectacular as the original movie, if not better! And of course, this while giving a much more detailed story. Lastly, Cameron reportedly left some scenes in the original move specifically to lead up to the sequel. Well, some have been questioning whether or not the box office performance of Avatar 2 can beat the original Avatar, that we will only know when the movie comes out.
