This December, the sequel to the 2009 blockbuster film “Avatar” arrives with “Avatar: The Way Of Water” and director James Cameron and the folks at 20th Century Studios have just released the first Official Teaser Trailer. I’ve embedded that down below for your consumption along with some premise, casting and artwork. Take a look.
The Premise: Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, Avatar: The Way of Water tells the story of the Sully family, the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: So what did you think? Are you curious about this long-awaited sequel? As you see in the description it takes place chronologically ten years after the first film but in real life time this is now some thirteen years after it was released. At the time of this writing that first film remains the biggest box office tallied release of all time despite it being beaten by “”Avengers: Endgame” for a few months. Truth be told, the Avengers film would have remained on top if “Avatar” hadn’t been put back in theaters for a limited time but I digress. Disney now owns 20th Century and puts out all the Marvel stuff so its all gravy at this point. Believe it or not, I have never seen “Avatar” and I think I actually own a copy of it on DVD and somehow I just never got around to it. That surprises some of my friends but you get interested in other things and just forget. Unless I see that first film, which is easily rectified of course I will not be seeing the sequel. Since this is a big release I will be posting about it with other trailers and the eventual release announcement this coming December. Stay tuned, and please stay safe out there.
