Zoe Saldana Revealed She Was ‘Moved To Tears' After Watching Avatar 2 Footage

James Cameron's Avatar 2 is all set to release in 2022. With nine months to go, reportedly, the film is in post-production and the leading star Zoe Saldana got to watch 20 minutes worth of footage. The actress who was seen playing Neytiri in the 2009 release, will be resuming the role for Avatar 2 and possibly 3.

Zoe Saldaña opened up about Avatar 2 during The Adam Project promotional interview. The actress revealed that the footage was so "powerful" it brought her to tears. She said, "[Cameron] was finally able to crack that challenge [underwater motion-capture], you know, that whole thing that you can't imitate water through performance-capture - that was just a challenge that he had taken upon himself and it took him years, and he did it!"

"It's powerful, it's compelling. I can get choked up just talking about it because I was able to see just 20 minutes of the second instalment right before the year ended last year, and I was speechless. I was moved to tears," Zoe added.

Talking about the film, she said the sequel is "definitely a leap" from the original. "I think you really have to brace yourself for it, but it's going to be an adventure that you will not forget."

Apart from Avatar sequels, Zoe is also gearing up for the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 and is expected to make a cameo in Thor: Love And Thunder.

For the unversed, Avatar 2 is set to hits cinemas on December 16 and will be followed by three sequel releases scheduled for December 20, 2024, December 18, 2026, and December 22, 2028.
