James Cameron, back in 2009, blew away audiences with his Avatar. This is a story that takes us to the somewhat distant future on a planet named Pandora. Here humans of Earth have set up a mining operation and disrupted the lives of the Na’vi, the humanoid natives of Pandora. In an effort to interact with the Na’vi, humans have created an “Avatar”. The effects of Avatar were absolutely groundbreaking for their time, and the film broke all kinds of box-office records.
After the wildly successful first movie, Cameron then signed on to create four more Avatar films.
Avatar 2: Casts and Plot!
The movie features many actors returning from the first film, including Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Matt Gerald, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Dileep Rao, and Giovanni Ribisi. Avatar 2 will also see the return of Sigourney Weaver and Stephen Lang.
Exciting new additions to the cast include Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Edie Falco, Michelle Yeoh, Jemaine Clement, Oona Chaplin, and Vin Diesel.
While many of the Avatar 2 details have remained under wraps, we do know that this second installment is set on Pandora approximately 12 years after the first movie. Jake Sully (Worthington) has lived on Pandora for many years since making the choice to permanently transfer his human consciousness into his Avatar body. Also, he has become the new leader of the Na’vi people.
He and Neytiri have since started a family and had children of their own. The colonizing forces of the RDA and their mining operations have returned to Pandora in a revival of their original pursuits. And they are forcing Jake and Neytiri to take their family and flee their home.
