Avatar: The Way of Water is the sequel to Cameron’s 2009 fantasy film Avatar. The events in the film take place over a decade after the first instalment. It follows the story of Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), his Na’vi wife Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) and their children. They lead a peaceful life in Pandora, which is disrupted when humans reemerge in the alien planet. Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang), presumed dead in the previous film, resurfaces to seek vengeance against Sully and Neytiri.
