Like all big-budget film shoots, Avatar 2 was placed on hiatus by the COVID-19 lockdowns. Not like many nations, New Zealand determined to shortly impose a strict lockdown at the beginning of the pandemic. As such, so far they’ve recorded just one,139 instances of the virus and a mere 21 deaths. With transmission charges now very low, their lockdown has begun to be relaxed. Because of this the assorted shoots going down there, most notably the Avatar sequels and Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings present, can start to start out again up.
Avatar 2 producer Jon Landau marked the event with a photograph from the set and a message that:
“Our #Avatar units are prepared — and we couldn’t be extra excited to be headed again to New Zealand subsequent week. Take a look at the Matador, a excessive pace ahead command vessel (backside) and the Picador jetboat (prime) — can’t wait to share extra.”


We’ve identified for a very long time that the main target of Avatar 2 is the oceanic lifetime of Pandora, so displaying off some cool ships is sensible. Given James Cameron’s underwater proclivities and high-profile environmentalism, we will assume that these boats can be crewed by the human villains of the movie. The mean-looking harpoon gun on the entrance of the Matador craft is an enormous trace that there’s going to be implicit criticism of business whaling within the movie (and the title ‘Matador’ is clearly linked with animal cruelty).
Proper now Avatar 2 is scheduled for launch on December 17, 2021 and indications are that it’ll maintain that prime launch date regardless of the COVID-19 delays. WETA Digital has continued engaged on the movie’s results through the lockdown and apparently some “digital manufacturing” has been finished in California, so let’s hope they will choose up proper the place they left off in March.
By the point Avatar 2 comes out it’ll have been over a decade since Avatar smashed field workplace data to change into the highest-grossing film of all time. Can the franchise steal that crown again from Avengers: Endgame subsequent 12 months? Properly, all I do know is that it’s not sensible to wager in opposition to a James Cameron film breaking data…
