20th Century Studios has dropped a new poster and trailer for Avatar: The Way of Water (via SFFGazette.com), James Cameron’s highly anticipated, first follow-up to his Academy Award-winning Avatar, the highest-grossing movie of all time. Its #1 spot was cemented with a re-release back in September that puts it well ahead of Avengers: Endgame).
In this new trailer, war comes to Pandora and we get a glimpse at the incredible underwater visuals that promise to be as groundbreaking as the first movie's 3D effects. We don't learn much about the plot, unfortunately, but it's obvious that the focus is going to be shifted to Jake and Neytiri's growing family as an all-new conflict arises courtesy of the evil RDA.
As for that poster, it just feels like classic Avatar, and it's getting hard not to be excited for what's to come this December. This feels like it has all the makings of a truly cinematic experience, and despite some recent big releases, it's been a while since we've had one of those.
To celebrate the trailer and poster launch for, Disney will hold a stunning light show of massive proportions featuring highlights from the film projected tonight over Niagara Falls.
