Avatar 2 Spoilers: Na'vi Culture Explored, Zoe Saldana Excited To Reprise Her Role As Neytiri
After his record-breaking success, Pandora Universe Expert James Cameron is back with Avatar 2 set to hit the theaters by 2016.
"Avatar," known as the highest grossing film in the history of motion pictures, is a 2009 epic science fiction action film who starred Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weber and Michelle Rodriguez.
Set in a lush habitable moon of a gas giant, Pandora is the home of the local tribe of Na'vi and "Avatar 2" will explore more on the culture of the indigenous humanoid species. "Avatar" Creator Cameron revealed his plans about Pandora and the future of the three film story arc.
'"['Avatar 2'] is on Pandora. Well, I'm really writing the second and third films together, so it completes a kinda three film story arc. And we will see the oceans of Pandora, which we haven't seen at all and that's an ecosystem that I'm dying to start designing because it's going to look spectacular," Cameron said.
"Part of my focus in the second film is in creating a different environment - a different setting within Pandora. And I'm going to be focusing on the ocean, which will be equally rich and diverse and crazy and imaginative, but it just won't be a rain forest. I'm not saying we won't see what we've already seen; we'll see more of that as well," he added during his interview with LA Times.
Cameron wanted his audience to feel the excitement about discovering a new world, someting that people wouldn't imagine it can exist. The Na'vi culture will take centerstage in "Avatar 2" and this could mean that the movie will continue to carry the environmentalism torch.
A theatrical release will premiere in August and Saldana couldn't be more excited to reprise her role as Neytiri.
"I went down to the studio that they've been setting up for the past three years. It was wonderful," Saldana revealed during her MTV interview.
"Jim took us and gave us a tour of all the reference pictures, telling us the stories. We kind of get choked up. [Cameron] gets emotional telling us about the story. I get emotional hearing about it, so I'm looking forward to it," she added.
