is the sequel to the 2009 film Avatar, and the second installment in the Avatar series of five films. It was released on December 16, 2022 and directed by James Cameron, produced by Lightstorm Entertainment, and distributed by 20th Century Studios.
is set 15 years after the events of the first film. Due to a one year time skip during the story, most of the film's events are set in 2170. Similar to the first film, the story is set across months with only the more important scenes being shown.
follows the journey of Jake Sully and Neytiri's newfound family of children. Despite their best efforts to keep their family together, a familiar threat resurfaces because Earth is dying, and forces the Sully family to become refugees and flee to the land of the Metkayina clan in the Pandoran oceans.
The film's plot is intended to be a fully-encapsulated standalone narrative, as will the other sequels, but will also be part of a meta-narrative that extends across Avatar: The Way of Water, Avatar 3, 4 and 5.
The Return of the RDA
Jake Sully has been living a peaceful life as Chief of the Omatikaya clan and raising a family with his lover Neytiri, which includes his sons Neteyam and Lo'ak and his daughter Tuktirey, his adopted daughter Kiri (born from Grace Augustine's comatose avatar), and a human boy Miles "Spider" Socorro, the son of Miles Quaritch, born on Pandora but was unable to be transported to Earth in cryostasis due to being an infant. While Jake is able to accept Spider as an adopted son, Neytiri is distrustful of him given his human origins. However, all the children mingle and socialize well with each other including Spider, whom Kiri is affectionate with even though he is a human. Spider does not embrace his human heritage and feels more inclined to Na'vi culture and traditions. They lead a happy life until one day, in 2168, they notice a new star in the night sky. To their horror, they realizes it signals the arrival of a fleet of RDA interstellar ships (ISVs). Humans have returned to Pandora to further colonize in the wake of the fall of Hell's Gate, due to Earth's energy crisis and impending environmental collapse. The RDA ships drop giant structures via space elevator. These 30-story tall cargo vehicles are each full of thousands of RDA workers, SecOps forces and construction robots. They use giant plasma engines to slow their descent to the ground, burning the forest and at least 187 of its animals in a 20km radius. Witnessing the devastation from afar, the Omatikaya and their allies retreat from the forest to the relative safety of the hidden High Camp community in the Hallelujah Mountains.
The Hunt for Jake Sully
The RDA uses fabrication plants and construction robots to build a new main operating base known as Bridgehead City, which over the next year, grows to be much larger than Hell's Gate was. New ships arrive regularly to deliver more troops and equipment; among the new arrivals to Pandora is Miles Quaritch who, along with eleven of his former troops, has been cloned into a Na'vi body as a Recombinant or "Recom" which can bypass Eywa's "immune response" of sending the wildlife to kill them. Quaritch maintains his donor's memories up with Parker Selfridge, his boss, until shortly before he departed for the Assault on the Tree of Souls. As a result, he is unable to remember his demise, but is able to recall his vengeful mission to eliminate Jake. His progress on Pandora is overseen by RDA General Frances Ardmore, who introduces him to the RDA's new skel-suits: Na'vi-sized exoskeletal frames that human grunts wear to even the odds against the natives. To prevent the RDA from exploiting Pandora again, Jake leads an ongoing strategic guerrilla operation aimed at weakening RDA supply lines. In one of these missions, a raid on a maglev train, Jake's sons are assigned to act as spotters. Lo'ak, who is eager to prove himself, disobeys Jake's orders and tries to assist in the battle. However, when more RDA forces arrive in a Kestrel gunship, Lo'ak is overwhelmed and Neteyam is wounded trying to protect him. Jake rescues and disciplines both his sons, warning them to not endanger their own safety for his sake by being reckless. Later, Lo’ak, Kiri and Spider visit an ex-RDA lab module that has been relocated to their mountain community, where Max Patel and Norm Spellman still provide medical assistance to the locals. It is revealed Grace's avatar remained alive after her human body died, and was put back into her suspension tank. Kiri greets Grace’s avatar warmly as "mom". Spider laments who his father was, but Kiri and Lo'ak reassure him. That night, while tending to his own wounds, Neytiri calmly reminds Jake to be not too hard on his sons, to which Jake expresses his fear of losing them and his need to be strict on them. Meanwhile, the attack on the RDA supply lines does not sit well with Ardmore who assigns Quaritch's Recom squad on a search mission to kill Jake. During a playful venture in the forest with Jake's children Lo'ak, Tuk and Kiri, Spider recognises that they are near the old Link Shack where their father fought his father, and Lo'ak decides to explore it, knowing it is against Jake's rules. Unbeknownst to them, Quaritch and his 1st Recom squad are reconnoitering the same site. Quaritch grimly discovered his decomposed remains, pierced with Neytiri's distinctive arrows, and crushes his own skull. An observant Lo'ak spots the Recoms, and quickly radios his father to inform him of their location. However, a skirmish occurs, and the Recoms easily capture Jake's children. They identify the children as Jake's due to Lo'ak and Kiri having recessive human traits such as five fingers, and upon learning Spider's name, Quaritch recognises the boy as his former son. Jake, Neytiri and Neteyam rush to the link shack, which was located at Site 26 15 years earlier. Upon arrival, Jake tells Neteyam to hang back. The parents then make animal calls to alert the captured children to their impending rescue. As Neytiri provides overwatch, Jake stealthily kills recom Warren. When Neytiri sees Recom Fike threatening Kiri, she is forced to kill him and Recom Walker with arrows, alerting Quaritch to her presence and covering the children's escape. When the other Recoms attempt to flank Neytiri, Jake ambushes and kills recom Brown, and Neteyam disobeys Jake and saves his father's life by killing recom Zhang. Jake and Neteyam regroup with Neytiri and his other children, but Spider trips and falls to the forest floor, where he is abducted by Quaritch. The recoms then retreat to Ardmore's command ship for extraction. Aboard the command ship, RDA scientists unsuccessfully attempt to coerce information about Jake from Spider via mental torture. Changing tack, Quaritch recognises Spider as his donor's son, and asks for his aid in understanding the Na'vi and their culture in exchange for avoiding further torture. Although uncooperative, and unaware of Quaritch's assassination mission, Spider does grudgingly agree to assist Quaritch. With Spider's goading, Quaritch and his remaining Recom squad are able to successfully bond with ikran mounts. Knowing the danger Spider's knowledge poses to their safety, and also to avoid further persecution of the Omatikaya clan, Jake convinces a reluctant Neytiri and his children to banish themselves and retreat to the eastern seaboard archipelago and the village of Awa'atlu, a coral reef island and home to the Metkayina clan, whose lifestyle is adapted to an aquatic habitat. Jake passes on his chief mantle to his successor, Tarsem, and leaves with his family on ikran to fly to Mekayina.
Living at Awa'atlu
They are greeted by the clan chief Tonowari and his partner, the tsahik Ronal, who is doubtful of them initially as she blames fall of Hell's Gate for the renewed human expansion. However, Jake stresses their dire situation, and according to custom Tonowari agrees for the Sully family to stay and receive shelter. Although at first Tonowari's and Ronal's son Aonung and his friend Rotxo deride the Sully children for their thin arms and small tails, and particularly Lo'ak and Kiri for their human genetic traits, the family quickly learn the ways of the reef people. Kiri is fascinated with the aquatic life of Awa'atlu and develops a spiritual bond with the sea and its creatures, while Lo'ak befriends Tsireya, the daughter of Tonowari and Ronal and sister of Aonung. Jake and Neytiri themselves try to adapt and learn the skills of the Metkayina, with Jake eventually managing to bond with a tsurak, a mount resembling a large flying-fish that can dive underwater or flit just above the surface. While adapting to their new environment, Lo'ak gets into a fight with Aonung and his friends when they make crude comments about his and Kiri's mixed human lineage. Jake admonishes his son for his behavior. At Jake's insistence, Lo'ak returns to apologize to Aonung and his friends. However, they entice him to a trip to the Three Brothers island chain, which is the hunting territory of a dangerous sea predator called an akula, and then leave him stranded as a revenge. The akula attacks Lo'ak, and he nearly drowns, but is saved at the last moment by a tulkun, an intelligent and pacifistic cetacean species whom the Metkayina consider their spiritual family. A grateful Lo'ak removes a human-made steel tag from one of the tulkun's fins, and notices that he is missing his fin on the other side. He spends time with the tulkun and learns that he is able to communicate with it; eventually they become friends. Back at Awa'atlu, Jake asks Kiri why she seems upset. She confides that she feels different; that she can sense a connection to Eywa, and can sense her heartbeat, which she describes as "mighty". Jake reassures her that there is nothing wrong with her. When Lo'ak returns to the village that night, Tonowari asks Aonung to apologize to Lo'ak for taking him beyond the reef. However, Lo'ak decides to take the blame for breaking the rules, which wins Aonung's friendship and respect. Together, the group of children learn and explore Awa'atlu's aquatic shores, its beautiful ecosystem and the Na'vi sign language. Lo'ak tells Tsireya and the others about the tulkun who saved him, only to be warned that he is Payakan, a tulkun who was cast out for murder, which Lo'ak refuses to believe. On a trip to the Metkayina's Cove of the Ancestors, the children are introduced to the Spirit Tree, their equivalent of the Tree of Souls. Kiri sees a vision of her mother, but then suffers a sudden violent seizure. She is eventually healed by Ronal, but as Jake had called Norm and Max for help, Quaritch was able to track their Samson's coordinates to the larger archipelago surrounding where the reef people live. Bringing Spider with him once more, Quaritch commandeers a SeaDragon whaling carrier vessel from RDA Cet-Ops Captain Mick Scoresby. The SeaDragon is capable of depoying a small fleet of gunboats, subs and VTOLs and is hunting tulkuns to harvest amrita, a brain enzyme used to create anti-aging remedies. Quaritch begins to violently question the local clans about Jake's location, specifically the Ta'unui clan, using Spider as a translator who pleads with him not to kill the Tsahìk. The clan claims they have no knowledge of Jake's location, prompting Quaritch to order the burning of the village instead. After, Quaritch orders the whaling crew to wantonly hunt and kill tulkuns in order to draw Jake out. Spider is disgusted with the RDA's brutality and his father's complicity. Scoresby's fleet hunts the tulkun pod that is tied to the Metkayina, piercing their fins with inflatable balloons to keep them on the surface, and shooting their less-armored underbellies with explosive harpoons to kill them. Scoresby personally catches and kills Ronal's "soul-sister" Ro'a, after which the RDA marine biologist Dr. Ian Garvin harvests her corpse for a tiny amount of valuable amrita. The whalers also ruthlessly kill Ro'a's calf. Lo'ak, determined to find the reason why Payakan became an outcast, returns to the Three Brothers and mentally links with Payakan via his queue. He learns that the tulkun was driven out by his pod because he went against the pacifist ways of his species and attacked the RDA whalers who had killed his mother. Lo'ak feels great pity and empathy for Payakan after this revelation, as the rebellious Lo'ak also feels like an outcast among his family, and that he lives in Neteyam's shadow. Lo'ak returns to the village where Ronal chastises Tsireya for allowing Lo'ak to bond with the outcast. Tonowari also scolds Lo'ak, saying he should know better. Lo'ak instead replies that Payakan saved his life and that he does not truly know him. Tonowari demands everyone sit down and explains the Tulkun Way and why Payakan is outcasted. Lo'ak instead speaks out against this, saying Tonowari is wrong. An upset Jake grabs Lo'ak and takes him away. Later, Tsireya tells Lo'ak how proud she is of him for bonding with a tulkun. Lo'ak defends Payakan to her, though she replies that by the Tulkun Way, Payakan bears the deaths. Tsireya insists they try to convince Tonowari, but Lo'ak refuses, saying neither of their fathers understand them. Tsireya tells Lo'ak "I see you" and insists he is part of their clan. When the Metkayina learn of the tulkun slaughters, they become furious and prepare to wage war with the RDA. Tonowari, who is displeased with the growing situation with Quaritch, is advised by Jake to strategize their defenses and to call him if any tulkuns are found with tracking tags, as this is a death sentence. Learning of the situation, Lo'ak takes off on an ilu to warn Payakan, followed by his siblings and the Metkayina kids.

Development for the film began in 2010 with an extensive period of pre-production. An early script, now known as The High Ground script, was produced in the first few years; this was scrapped in favor of what would become The Way of Water by 2013. The film entered into production in 2017, filming concluded in September 2020 and it was released in D...
The release was moved seven times from its original date in December 2014 through to December 2022 (discounting the 2017 delay with no firm date that was then clarified in a second announcement a month later, and a similar event on July 23rd, 2020). Five of these delays occurred before the start of production in 2017, while the remaining two were caused by wider events during production - namely the Disney acquisition of Fox in 2019 and the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.
In October 2013, shooting plans were for fall 2014, and intended to be shot before Alita: Battle Angel (2019). Filming ultimately commenced in September 2017, over five years behind the original plan. Cameron held a pragmatic view about the delays, as crucial tech development and design were done in the time it took the scripts for the four sequels to be written. Five of the delays took place during the pre-production phase of development, prior to the completion of the scripts and designs in 2017. One of those delays was subject to speculation of a clash with The Last Jedi, which had in turn been rescheduled into the same slot.
The remaining two delays took place during production. The first of these was in May 2019, when Disney reorganized their theatrical release slate in the wake of their acquisition of Fox. Among many other franchises, this purchase included Avatar. The changes affected all of their major franchises and delayed all Avatar sequels. The slate as planned at the time involved a Star Wars movie and an Avatar movie alternating in the Christmas slot until 2027, with Avatar releases in 2021, 2023, 2025 and 2027.
This 2019 slate was revised again a year later, as the Coronavirus Pandemic hampered production efforts across the industry. While Avatar 2 was largely being shot in New Zealand, which was for the most part COVID-free until early 2022, virtual production in Los Angeles was slowed by the situation. The Avatar Twitter account confirmed the seventh delay on July 23rd, with a formal slate-wide announcement taking place the following day. A large group of Disney-owned films including Star Wars were delayed a full year in the same announcement. This was ultimately the final delay for the film.
Theatrical Release
The film's world premiere took place on a blue carpet at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square on December 6, 2022 in London.[102] was released in theaters in both IMAX 3D as well as the regular 2D format. Some theaters also supported ScreenX and 4DX; ScreenX is extended widescreen while 4DX involves vibrating chairs and scented mists for immersion. Theaters around the globe vary greatly in their screening capabilities. As a result, 1,065 unique delivery versions of the movie have been created to deliver the best possible experience to each individual theater. These versions included combinations of 2D, 3D, HDR, 4K, varying light levels, aspect ratios, 24 or 48 frames per second, a range of audio formats, 51 languages supported with subtitles and 28 languages supported by dubbing. For the distribution of the film by Walt Disney Studios to theaters worldwide, the movie was effectively divided into 15 reels so that delivery elements could be created early even though they did not have the complete movie, yet. The complete movie was available only 16 days before the release. Roughly 800 versions of the movie underwent quality control in the last five days before release.[103] For Earth Day 2023, some select theatres around the world brought back The Way of Water for another week.
Digital Release
The first home video release was announced on March 7, 2023. On March 28, 2023, Avatar: The Way of Water became available in 4K Ultra HD quality with Dolby Atmos surround sound as a digital edition for purchase. As part of the digital release, there are three hours of bonus materials focusing on topics such as motion capture, creating the undersea world of Pandora, the introduction of the Metkayina reef clan, and the casting of the young actors.[104] The film released on Disney+ and HBO Max on June 7, 2023. Its digital release was extremely successful, becoming the most watched movie in June 2023 with nearly 2 billion minutes watched by viewers on both Disney+ and HBO Max.[105][106]
Ultimate Collector's Edition
Avatar: The Way of Water Ultimate Collector's Edition released on June 20, 2023 for Blu-ray, 3D Blu-ray and DVD. The base cover depicts Lo'ak, Neteyam, Tsireya and Payakan in the background. It includes three hours of bonus content. There are special editions from different retailers: •Decal edition (Target): Has the aforementioned cover, but includes a decal •Steel book (Best Buy): Features a cover of Jake on a skimwing •Lenticular packaging (Walmart): Features a cover similar to the theatrical poster of Jake, Neytiri, Lo'ak and Tsireya
James Horner was billed to return to compose the sequel. In 2015, Horner stated that he would stay with the Avatar series through its entire run "If I last that long".[108] However, Horner died in a plane crash in June 2015.[109] With the film still two years away from having a completed script, a new composer was needed - the post remaining unfilled as late as March 2019.[110] Simon Franglen, who had collaborated frequently with Horner in the past, was publicly announced as the new composer that December.[111] Franglen had already worked closely with Horner as electronic music arranger on the soundtrack for the first film.
After Horner's death, Franglen composed the music for Pandora: The World of Avatar. In late 2017, James Cameron asked Franglen to read the scripts for the sequels. The goal of starting the collaboration early was to develop the score in parallel to the film. Franglen designed unique Pandoran musical instruments for the film which the prop department brought into reality. The sea is an integral part to the themes and motifs of the score.[112]
"The Songcord" is a song in the Na'vi language which Neytiri sings twice in the film. The song was written by Simon Franglen and performed by Zoe Saldaña.
The song "Nothing Is Lost (You Give Me Strength)" by "The Weeknd" plays during the film's end credits. The song was produced by Swedish House Mafia and Simon Franglen.
received generally positive reviews and holds a certified fresh at Rotten Tomatoes, having a 76% critic score and an average audience score of 92%.[113] On IMDb, it has an average rating of 7.6/10.[114] The site's ratings show that women liked The Way of Water more than men on average, contrasting the first film in which men were more likely to enjoy it.
Critics praised the film's visuals and immersive use of 3D, and also praised the intense action-packed final hour of the film.[115] Guillermo del Toro said The Way of Water has "emotions at an epic, epic scale" and commented that the film is created by a master at the peak of his powers.[116] The Way of Water also created another round of Post-Avatar Depression Syndrome (PADS) in many viewers.[117]
However, The Telegraph gave the film a 2 out of 10, claiming The Way of Water does not have a plot or any stakes in it, and that watching Avatar: The Way of Water feels like being "waterboarded with turquoise cement".[118] TodayOnline called the movie a "three-hour screensaver".[119] FreshFiction compared the movie to watching a National Geographic documentary, but did not necessarily say this was a bad thing because the reviewer personally enjoys them.[120]
When criticism was made, it was mainly directed towards the story, with some feeling it was too derivative of the first film with too many similar moments and story beats, even half-joking that after 13 years of waiting, the story is the same as the first's but by the sea. For example:
•Both films open with scenic shots of jungle skies (at least in the case of the Extended version of Avatar).
•Jake/Quaritch wakes up on a spaceship; they later cause others to panic while getting used to their body. Jake/Quaritch arrives at the RDA base (Hell's Gate/Bridgehead) where he meets the SecOps commander (Quaritch/Ardmore) who exercises in their free time and speaks to them in a large suit (AMP Suit/Skel Suit). Quaritch/Ardmore asks for intel on the Na'vi.
The film's box office had factors working against it, including being released during the 2022 FIFA World Cup, a massive snowstorm hitting the United States,[125] another wave of COVID hitting China with more restrictions,[126] and some theaters had their projectors crash due to the 3D and high frame rate scenes, especially in Japan, resulting in refunds and lost revenue.[127] The film was allowed to get a rare extension in China to at least February 15 to give the film a fairer chance and to allow more people to see it.[128] The Russia-Ukraine war of 2022 also meant that a portion of the theaters in Ukraine were unable to show the film while Disney decided to ban the film's release in Russia entirely. This resulted in Russia legalizing pirated copies of the film as the country began to legalize pirated films in general.[129] For comparison, the first Avatar received approximately 116 million in Russia, meaning The Way of Water lost significant revenue for Russia's population of approximately 145 million people.
The film performed below expectations in the United States and China in its opening weekend. Despite these issues, it was far from a flop and the film's revenue still managed to pass the $1 billion mark in 14 days as a result of its strong legs.[130] On January 5th, 2023, it reached 1.5 billion and became the highest grossing 2022 film, passing Top Gun: Maverick.[131] On January 22, 2023, it was announced the film surpassed $2 billion. On February 5, 2023, the film surpassed Titanic overseas, becoming the third largest international release. On February 10th, 2023, the film overtook Titanic as the third-highest grossing film of all time at $2.2 billion; while the Titanic re-release on the 10th gave competition between the two James Cameron films briefly, The Way of Water maintained its third place on the 12th by having a few more million. On March 19th, 2023, it was announced the film surpassed 2.3 billion. It is now the third highest-grossing film of all time and the highest-grossing post-pandemic film.
The film was very popular in India, surpassing an advance ticket sale speed record previously held by Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.[132] On January 13, 2023, it became the highest-grossing Hollywood film in India, surpassing Avengers: Endgame.[133]
eventually became the highest-grossing film of all time in Germany, France, Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Turkey, UAE, Cambodia, Mongolia, New Zealand, Colombia and Puerto Rico.[134]
