Check out the new trailer for Avatar: The Way of Water

The first trailer for Avatar 2 was about reminding us of everything that had happened. This one is more of a primer as it gives us a taste of the tale that has taken Cameron nearly 15 years to tell us.

Just like in real life, several years have passed since the events of the first Avatar film. Sam Worthington's lead character, Jake Sully, is no longer an Avatar. Sully has formed a family with Zoe Saldana's Neytiri. However, after enjoying relative peace for a long time, they must vacate their homes after old problems re-emerge (i.e, humanity) and Pandora is threatened once again.

To survive, Jake and Neytiri turn to a different tribe of Na'vi, ones who primarily spend their time underwater. This sets the premise for where much of the story will take place and opens audiences up to a side of Pandora we've never seen before.

Ultimately, it was silly not to trust James Cameron. The award-winning director might have reservations about his plans for the Avatar franchise but he's proven himself to be a master at his craft. At the very least, it'd be a huge mistake not to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Given the success of Avatar's re-release, we wouldn't be surprised if Avatar 2 ends up in the same breath as its predecessor as just the sixth film to gross at least $2 billion at the global box office.
