Avatar: The Way of Water‘s first full trailer is now available. The sequel to the highest-grossing film of all time will be released overseas on December 14 and in the United States on December 16.
The sequel takes place more than a decade after the events of the first film, which was released in 2009. The Sully family, comprised of Jake, Neytiri, and their children, is central to the plot.
The film follows “the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure as they fight for their home on Pandora.” Packed with state-of-the-art visuals, the trailer includes a reference to the original title, with Na-vi’s signature phrase: “I see you.”
According to sources, the film has a runtime of three hours and ten minutes, which is 29 minutes longer than the flagship title. Notably, The Way of Water will be the first of four Avatar sequels to be released. According to producer Jon Landau, fans can expect a “fulfilling resolution to each film, but when looked at as a whole the journey across all four will create a larger epic saga.”
