James
Cameron
unveiled
the
first
footage
of
the
awaited
Avatar
2,
at
the
CinemaCon
2022
on
April
27,
2022.
The
filmmaker
also
revealed
the
film's
official
title
as
Avatar:
The
Way
of
Water.
As
per
Twitter
and
some
reports,
viewers
were
provided
with
3D
glasses
before
the
footage
was
rolled.
While
no
glimpses
have
been
revealed
by
the
fans
on
social
media,
many
expressed
their
excitement
for
the
film.
According
to
a
Deadline
report,
the
footage
featured
different
regions
of
Pandora.
The
clip
featured
the
extrasolar
moon
of
planet
Polyphemus
from
the
Alpha
Centauri
system,
which
was
also
part
of
the
Avatar
in
2009.
While
it
didn't
give
a
glimpse
at
the
cast,
Na'vi
people
(of
Pandora)
were
seen
interacting
with
aquatic
mammals
like
whales.
Cameron
also
interacted
with
the
audience
and
said,
"With
the
first
Avatar,
we
set
out
to
push
the
limits
of
the
big
screen.
With
the
new
Avatar
films,
we're
pushing
those
limits
even
farther,
with
3D,
with
high
dynamic
range,
with
high
frame
rate,
higher
resolution,
and
a
much
greater
reality
in
our
visual
effects."
It's
been
12
years
but
I
can
now
say
that
footage
from
Avatar
2
exists!
It's
called
AVATAR:
THE
WAY
OF
WATER.
And
we
just
saw
the
teaser
trailer.
It'll
debut
exclusively
in
theater
with
Doctor
Strange
in
the
Multiverse
of
Madness.
It'll
be
online
a
week
later.
