If the short trailer ofAvatar 2which has just appeared, offers very little information on the plot of James Cameron’s next blockbuster, it is already a very big score.
13 years later, a new visual slap is approaching
13 years after the release of the first Avatar, Avatar: The Way of the Water generates a very big expectation in the world. Many are those who want to take a big visual slap again, in line with its predecessor, which in its time upset the cinema with its technical prowess.
The first images leaked for a few hours had given us a glimpse of what this Avatar 2 had in the stomach. But it is the trailer which previously leaked, then put online today, which is raising the temperature, a few months before its release.
A still enigmatic trailer
We note that the Na’vi have now colonized the waters of Planet Pandora, and that Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) and their children go hunting or fishing. If this trailer does not give any information as to the plot, we note thata human seems to be perfectly integrated into the group.
This is none other than Spider, one of Jake and Neytiri’s 4 children. If the first 2, Lo’ak, Neteyam and Tuktirey are Na’vi, Spider who was born on a military basewas adopted by the couple when he was too weak to return to Earth. “Jake volunteered to adopt Miles, nicknamed Spider (the spider) for his agility, to become his full son, and he has since been raised by the entire Sully family. “, clarified the film’s producer Jon Landau.
A quick reminder of the synopsis of what awaits us at the end of the year:
Jake Sully and Neytiri have become parents. The plot takes place ten years after the events told in the original feature film. Their idyllic life, close to nature, is threatened when the Resources Development Administration, a dangerous non-governmental organization, returns to Pandora. Forced to leave their natural habitat, Jake and his family travel to the reefs, where they believe they will find asylum. But they come across a clan, the Metkayina, with customs different from theirs…
Already impressive scores
We will have to wait to learn more about this Avatar 2whose the release date is set for December 14, 2022. In the meantime, the craze almost seems to exceed expectations, sincein 24 hours, the trailer has been viewed 146.8 million timesreport Disney and 20th Century Fox.
If this score is lower than Thor: Love and Thunder(which exceeded 200 million with its first trailer unveiled in April), this trailer does better than movies like Black Widow (116 million views), The Incredibles 2 (113), or the last trilogy Star Wars. That is to say !
When it was released in 2009, Avatar grossed $2.8 billion at the global box office. Will this second opus manage to do better? In view of the hype which seems to be inflating, we are able to be optimistic.
Remember also that three other films will follow, in 2024, 2026 and 2028. Good years are therefore looming for Disney, 20th Century Fox, James Cameron and his band.
