The film will now explore the world and characters of the first film as a tribute to honour the legacy built by Boseman.

Avatar 2

The second film in the Avatar franchise, this upcoming Hollywood film of 2022, was highly anticipated by the fans of the first film.

We will be able to see the great works of stars like Zoe Saldana, Kate Winslet, Sam Worthington, and more finally again.
