Give yourself a refresher on what happened in the first Avatar film by streaming it on Disney+.
As a reminder, in the original film, humans are colonizing Pandora, a habitable moon that a native and intelligent human-like species called the Na'vi call home. Humans are drawn to Pandora because it is a source of a rare and valuable mineral.
Because the air on Pandora is poisonous to humans, they must live in pods and use their brains to control avatars that have the same abilities and looks as the blue-colored Na'vi. Sam Worthington's character, Jake Sully, goes against his fellow man when their presence and intensive mining threaten Pandora's ecosystem.
Avatar: The Way of Water is not the only new Avatar movie you can expect. Cameron plans to release a total of five Avatar films by 2028. Catch up on everything we know about the upcoming Avatar films here.
