Meanwhile, We Got This Covered sat down with Sam Worthington last month. The actor who plays Jake Sully in the franchise revealed that the plot of the upcoming film will be about family. "The world is bigger than the first one, but essentially, it's a movie about family," Worthington explained.

The actor added that fans will soon discover that "Avatar 2" is "nothing" that they've ever seen in the history of the big screen. Worthington went on to explain that Jake will continue to explore Pandora after the events that went down in the first movie.

The outlet notes that the story in "Avatar" wasn't very impressive. What took the movie to great heights was its technical aspect. Now that Worthington has revealed the plot for the sequel, critics are looking forward to an amazing story that will make a mark in the hearts of viewers.

"Avatar 2" has been in the works for almost a decade. Fans are now expecting to see huge improvements in the sequel. Worthington also revealed that aside from the second film, director James Cameron and the team will also work simultaneously on the succeeding movies in the franchise.
