James Cameron is finally bringing a sequel to 2009's Avatar to theaters with Avatar: The Way of Water.
If you ventured into the theater to watch Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness this weekend, you probably got to see the first teaser for Avatar: The Way of Water, the long-awaited sequel to the 2009 science-fiction blockbuster Avatar. Director James Cameron has spent more than a decade making the first of a planned four sequels, a large fraction of which takes place in underwater environments.
(Spoilers for the 2009 film below.)
Cameron wrote a treatment for Avatar way back in 1994, and it was supposed to be the director's next big project after he wrapped his blockbuster Titanic. But Cameron realized the technology did not yet exist to make the film he envisioned. He spent several years working to develop what he needed, including a cutting-edge virtual camera system to direct the motion-capture scenes. (He compared it to "a big, powerful game engine.")
