Avatar 2 producer Jon Landau has shared some new behind the scenes photos from James Cameron's sequels after work was halted in response to COVID-19. New Zealand has the virus mostly under control now, though, and the first of Disney's planned follow-ups to the 2009 blockbuster is now on track to be released in 2022. 

A number of key cast members will return, and Sigourney Weaver is among them. She played Dr. Grace Augustine in the first movie, but was killed off during the final act; however, previous photos have indicated that she will appear in flashbacks based on what her character was wearing. 

If these latest shots are any indication, though, Weaver will be back as a Na'vi and taking part in the sequel's highly anticipated underwater sequences. In a ball pit that's doubling for water, the legendary Alien actress is clearly wearing the sort of mo-cap equipment that is necessary to bring those incredible creatures from Pandora to life on the big screen.

Based on what we see here, it seems likely that Jake's attempts to transfer Grace's consciousness to her Avatar form weren't a failure after all.

Check out the photos below:

About 90% of the reason I liked this film was because of the outstanding 3D. And I saw it three times at the theater in 3D because it looked so good.

And 3D will be about 90% of the reason I watch any of the sequels.

@LSHF - I'm not knocking the films, but praising the 3D.

If this is supposed to be a separate character, maybe Grace's Avatar gained a mind of it's own since the transfer with Ewya failed? I mean, Grace is dead, but her Avatar was still alive at the end of the film.

This should give the underwater scenes of Aquaman a good run for their money.

@NinnesMBC - i doubt Aquaman's would stand a chance. Effects underwater were mediocre, and if I know something about Cameron is that he loves water
