Part of what towers over the plot of Avatar: The Way of Water is the growing family of Jake and Neytiri protecting their family against an arising new threat in Pandora. The Avatar 2 director expounds on that on Entertainment Weekly. Read his full comment below:
While sequels normally portray an extension of the pre-existing world in its predecessor, in the case of Avatar: The Way of Water, it also extend the relationship of Jake and Neytiri, as well as their responsibility as ‘new’ parents. James Cameron reiterates this ‘change’ may affect their decision-making in terms of risking their life vs. protecting the children first.
Cameron went on to pose different questions as to how Jake and Neytiri’s family will ultimately change their role and identity in the upcoming sequel, perhaps even teasing the main conflict that would surround the characters once faced with the problem.
Excited to watch the Avatar sequel? Avatar: The Way of Water is set to premiere on December 16, 2022.
