Vin Diesel, the action star of the Fast & Furious franchise, has also joined the underwater world of Pandora. We do not know who he will be playing in the movie yet. However, being the protector of his family in Fast & Furious, it looks like he will do the same for in-universe families while creating a meta link between Fast & Furious and Avatar: The Way of Water.
Stephen Lang will return as Colonel Miles Maurich despite dying in the original Avatar. He will serve as the main villain of all four sequels. We can wait to see how he will return and what the corrupt military man is up to this time.
Cliff Curtis of Fear the Walking Dead will play Tonowari, the leader of the new Na’vi clan, Metkayina.
Giovanni Ribisi will reprise his original Avatar role as RDA head administrator Parker Selfridge. At the same time, the Sci-fi queen, Sigourney Weaver, will be seen in a wholly different character as Dr. Grace Augustine.
Game of Throne's Oona Chaplin, who joined the Avatar Sequel's cast in 2017, will display her strong and vibrant central character as Varang, spanning the sequels' entire saga.
Flight of the Conchords star Jemaine Clement will play marine biologist Dr. Ian Garvin. However, it’s unknown in how many Avatar sequels he will play this role.
My Spy star Chloe Coleman has joined the star-studded cast as Young Lo’ak and Edie Falco as General Frances Ardmore, the new head of RDA.
Avatar 2 has also introduced seven young members who will explore the regions of Pandora. The Sully family comprises four children: Jamie Flatters plays the role of the eldest child, Neteyam, Britain Dalton as the second-born Lo'ak, while Trinity Bliss portrays Tuktirey as the youngest child of the family. Jack and Neytiri have also adopted a human child, Miles Socorro, aka "Spider," who is performed by Jack Champion.
Bailey Bass plays the role of Tsireya, a skilled free diver who is one of three young members of the Metkayina clan. Duane Evans Jr. plays the role of Rotxo, another free diver, and Filip Geljo portrays the character of Aonung, the son of the clan’s leader.
The Plot of Avatar The Way of Water
After almost a decade, the highly-anticipated, Avatar: The Way of Water, the sequel to Avatar 1, is hitting theatrical screens (Finally). The original Avatar ended with the war between the Na’vi warriors and RDA soldiers. Dr. Grace Augustine died, and Jake Sully gave up his life as a human marine after transferring his consciousness into a body of a Na’vi.
In Avatar: The Way of Water, Jake Sully, as the chief, is accompanied by Neytiri, the high priestess of their clan. They are trying their best to protect their newfound family of four children on the planet of Pandora. However, a familiar threat is looming on the horizon, forcing Jake and Neytiri and the Na’vi forces to the reefs, the “perceived safe harbor” where they will meet Metkayina.
James Cameron, the director of the movie, has utilized high-resolution 3D and visual effects to bring life to the Pandora world. To bring greater reality and capture the importance of water, he filmed the motion-capture scenes underwater. Thus, Avatar: The Way of Water will take the viewers beyond the forests of Pandora into the world of underwater and explosive volcanic environments.
As in the upcoming three, this sequel will have a universal theme of family. The film explores what parents go through and how far they will go to protect their families.
Jan Landau, the producer, explains that each Avatar movie will be a stand-alone story. Still, all four sequels will form a connected saga at the end.

The teaser shows the cast in the familiar blue humanoids and Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) struggling to protect his newfound family from the looming threat of the RDA mining operation against their civilization. The trailer also features the actors exploring the underwater world, fighting all odds to save their planet.
Some News About Avatar 2
In the original Avatar, James Cameron utilized regular motion capture and 3D technology. In Avatar: The Way of Water, he has employed the underwater mo-cap to bring greater reality and the best possible shot to the screen.
Avatar 2 cost around $250 million, while the budget for all four sequels is expected to be 1billion. James Cameron has paid great attention to detail as the actors filmed their mo-cap scenes submerged in 900000 gallons of water instead of mimicking underwater scenes.
