THE TITANIC FINALE of Avatar: The Way Of Water had it all: a tragic death, an unexpected father-son rescue, and an obnoxious Australian shouting, “Get wet!” But for all the revelations — tulkun points, if you will — it also provides big clues to the future of the series. And with the film fast-approaching $2 billion at the box office at the time of going to press, it’s safe to say that fans are invested in that future.
“Hopefully, The Way Of Water came to its own conclusion, as I think each movie will,” says producer Jon Landau. “But they do set things up because we get more and more invested in these characters. Where does Kiri [Sigourney Weaver] go? What is Lo’ak [Britain Dalton] up to? What decisions will Jake [Sam Worthington] and Neytiri [Zoe Saldaña] have to make? All of those things will continue to drive our story.”
