According to creator, James Cameron, an extensive part of "Avatar 2" involves footage shot underwater, and viewers should expect the humans to make a dangerous nuisance of themselves with major antagonist, Col. Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang) to be present in "Avatar 2" despite his character being killed off in the first movie.
All three sequels were shot back to back, with "Avatar 4" announced to be a prequel set 35 years prior to the events in the first film, where an earlier colonization of Pandora will begin the storyline.
With American science fiction author and "Jumper" writer Steven Gould announced to be penning all four books to be based on the original movie and sequels, Cameron has also indicated all three of the succeeding movies have been shot on location in New Zealand, with a world premiere for one of them to be held in Wellington.
"Avatar 2" and the two movies following it have been produced by Cameron and Jon Landau via their Lightstorm Entertainment film production company.
