Avatar: The Way of Water 2022 Recap
Avatar: The Way of Water is a 2022 American epic science fiction film and the sequel to the 2009 film Avatar, both directed by James Cameron. It is distributed by 20th Century Studios as the second film in the Avatar series. Cameron produced it with Jon Landau and wrote the screenplay with Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, based on a story the three wrote with Josh Friedman and Shane Salerno. Cast members Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Stephen Lang, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Giovanni Ribisi, Dileep Rao, and Matt Gerald reprise their roles from the original film, with Sigourney Weaver returning in a different role.[5] New cast members include Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Edie Falco and Jemaine Clement.

Cameron stated in 2006 that he would like to make sequels to Avatar if it was successful, and announced the first two sequels in 2010, following the widespread success of the first film, with The Way of Water aiming for a 2014 release.[6][7] However, the addition of three more sequels, for a total of five Avatar films, and the necessity to develop new technology in order to film performance capture scenes underwater, a feat never accomplished before, led to significant delays to allow the crew more time to work on the writing, preproduction, and visual effects.[8] The filming process, which occurred simultaneously with a currently untitled third Avatar film, began in Manhattan Beach, California, on August 15, 2017. The filming location moved to Wellington on September 25, 2017, and concluded in late September 2020 after three years of shooting. With an estimated budget of $350–400 million, it is one of the most expensive films of all time.[2]

Following repeated delays in the expected release schedule, Avatar: The Way of Water premiered in London on December 6, 2022, and was theatrically released in the United States on December 16, 2022. The film received positive reviews from critics. Organizations such as the National Board of Review and the American Film Institute named Avatar: The Way of Water as one of the top ten films of 2022, and it received nominations for Best Motion Picture – Drama and Best Director at the 80th Golden Globe Awards.
