Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, “Avatar: The Way of Water” begins to tell the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids), 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.

The latest trailer reintroduces Jake (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) at their home in Pandora and their children: Neteyam (Jamie Flatters), Lo’ak (Britain Dalton), Tuktirey (Trinity Bliss) and Kiri (Sigourney Weaver). During the events of 2009’s Avatar, Jake went sent to infiltrate the Na’vi, Pandora humanoid inhabitants as the military mine the planet’s invaluable resources. Technology allowed humans to transfer their minds to Na’vi bodies. At the end of the film, Jake was able to transfer his mind permanently to his Na’vi counterpart. Weaver plays the new role of Kiri in The Way of Water after playing Dr. Grace Augustine in the original, working with Jake on the program before getting killed during the Na’vi-human war.
