When is Avatar 2 coming out?
Even after the premiere of the first part of the film, there were rumors about whether there would be an Avatar 2. The dates were repeatedly postponed for many reasons, including the lack of necessary technologies for filming and the COVID-19 epidemic. It was announced by director James Cameron that the world premiere would take place on December 16, but Avatar 2 will be released in Russia on December 16, 2022.
The original cast returns to work, with Zoe Saldana (Neytiri) and Sam Worthington (Jake Sully) still in the lead roles. Filming was completed in full in September 2020, with a significant portion of scenes filmed in New Zealand.
Cinema chains entered into a "gentlemen's agreement" with the film business. All major cinemas that continue to broadcast Hollywood films without the consent of the copyright holders are required to show only Russian films at the holidays. The agreement does not apply to regional and independent cinemas, but state regulators will take care of them.
Avatar plot
The movie takes place in the future XXII centurywhen the resources of the Earth are exhausted and people are looking for the necessary materials on other planets. On Pandora there are deposits of the rarest substance - unobtanium - and primitive aborigines, three-meter blue-skinned Na'vi. On the basis of their bodies, avatars were created that copy the appearance of the primitive race, but are controlled by a person remotely. The main character Jake Sully is a disabled person who arrives on Pandora in order to replace his twin brother who died in the project and earn money for the operation.
Gradually, he learns to control his avatar and meets Neytiri, the daughter of the leader of the local clan. The girl treats him unfriendly, but still leads to her loved ones and the decision of her mother Jake stays. He has to learn all aspects of Na'vi life and Neytiri helps him in this. During his life with the clan, Jake realizes that the natives are now closer to him than people, and wants to protect them.
Meanwhile, the earthlings, tired of waiting for results from the "scout", decide to attack the tree of souls sacred to the clan. Sally sides with the Na'vi and helps them fight off the attack, and also turns to the Tree for help. The nature of Pandora responds, coming to the aid of the clan. Jake's human body is badly injured, but his owner is saved by permanently transferring consciousness into an avatar.
In the sequel to Avatar: The Path of Water, Jake Sullivan must once again defend Pandora when the armed men return in a new attempt to seize the planet's resources.
