Avatar 2 Will Use Performance Capture Technology UnderwaterSo, we already know that James Cameron’s Avatar 2 will take place underwater. While that sounds like a great setting and one that we’re excited about, it poses a big problem. Cameron needs the motion captured characters to be able to interact in that type of environment. So far, the technology behind motion capture hasn’t been able to do this, but for the director’s upcoming sequel, he plans to change that.At a recent conference, the producer on the Avatar films, Jon Landau, revealed that they are testing out technology which will allow for full performance capture done underwater.Check out what he had to say below:We have kept a team of digital artists on from Avatar in order to test how we can create performance capture underwater.

Since Sigourney Weaver is back and playing someone else, it proves that Dr. Grace is truly dead. Sigourney Weaver's Avatar 2 Role Beats The First Movie While Sigourney Weaver's character was important to the first Avatar, it mostly felt as if she was there to bring some star power to the (at the time) mostly unknown cast. Weaver's role as Kiri in Avatar: The Way of Water, though, is even more interesting than her role in the first movie. Playing a young Na'vi, Sigourney Weaver's Avatar 2 character is more involved in action sequences than Dr. Grace was in the first film. Playing a young character also provided the chance for a more interesting performance, one that pushed veteran acting talent Sigourney Weaver in new directions. Grace was not the most interesting character in the first movie, but Weaver captures the youthful energy and curiosity of Kiri in a much more challenging role. The best thing about Sigourney Weaver's Avatar 2 character, though, is the emotion it brings to the film. There is still a lot of mystery surrounding Kiri and how she even came to be, but Avatar 2 establishes a connection between Grace and Kiri. It hints at something big to be revealed in future movies with Kiri even seeing a vision of Grace who speaks to her. How The Other Dead Avatar Characters Are Back In Avatar 2 Apart from Sigourney Weaver returning as a different character, two other actors are reprising their roles somewhat similarly: Matt Gerald and Stephen Lang, who in Avatar respectively played RDA soldiers Lyle Wainfleet and Col.

We’ve cast them, and we’ve [performance] captured movie 2, movie 3, and the first part of movie 4. We’re mostly done with the live action. I’ve got a couple months in New Zealand in the spring, so we’re kind of on track with what we set out to do…We’re kind of right on schedule for December 2021.” iHeartRadio Podcast Awards 2025 “Avatar 2” will reunite Cameron with a large portion of his original cast, including Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, and Sigourney Weaver.

Winslet, who had been notoriously reluctant about working with Cameron again because of the complicated situations he puts his actors in for their scenes, stated that Cameron proposed the role to her in July 2017 when he came to help her and their fellow Titanic collaborator Leonardo DiCaprio at a fundraiser in France, sending her the scripts shortly after. She commented that her role was "relatively small comparative to the lengthy shoot", as she would only have one month of shootings, but also "a pivotal character in the ongoing story".On October 13, 2017, it was announced that Giovanni Ribisi would reprise his role of Parker Selfridge from the first film, in all four upcoming Avatar films. On January 25, 2018, Dileep Rao was confirmed to return as Dr. Max Patel. A year later, Edie Falco, Brendan Cowell, and Michelle Yeoh joined the cast in live-action roles. In early April 2019, Vin Diesel announced that he would be joining the cast of the Avatar sequel, although it was not clearly specified which sequels he would be in.In October 2019, Edward Norton revealed that he had turned down a role in Avatar 2, due to only being interested in playing a Na'vi, which his proposed character was not. In April 2018, David Thewlis revealed his involvement in the franchise, stating that he would be featured in three of the four sequels, later stating in January 2020 that his character was a Na'vi. This led to Thewlis being largely reported as part of the cast of Avatar 2; however, he stated in June 2020 that the reports were wrong, and that he would actually be a part of Avatar 3 to 5.Performance capture filming[]Avatar: The Way of Water had entered production and started preliminary shooting on August 15, 2017, with Manhattan
