More specifically, Avatar 2 appears to take place 14 years later. This would explain why Neteyam - Jake & Neytiri's eldest biological child - looks like a teenager, and is played by Jamie Flatters, who was in his mid-teens when cast. Such a long Avatar timeline gap created a different dynamic for the sequel.
16. Set nearly 15 years after the original film, the movie focuses on erstwhile human soldier Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) who fell in love with the planet of Pandora and the Na'vi warrior Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) in the first film. Jake left his human body to become a Na'vi himself.
She was the first of the Na'vi tasked with familiarizing Jake with their ways. As time went on, their connection grew and they bonded with each other. James Cameron detailed in the script that "in human age she would be 18." That would make Neytiri 33 years old in Avatar: The Way of Water.
Is Avatar 3 done filming? James Cameron filmed scenes for the third Avatar movie during the filming of Avatar: The Way of Water. According to producer Jon Landau, filming for the movie was about 95% complete in December 2022. In November 2023, Cameron confirmed that they were in post-production.
Everything That Happened In-Canon Between Avatar & Way of Water
Is there a time jump between Avatar 2 and 3?
Keeping in mind that there isn't a considerable time jump between Avatar's second and third movies, many characters will be in completely different phases of their lives when they return.
Given that Avatar 3 was filmed at the same time as the sequel, we already know some confirmed returns for the next movie led by Sam Worthington as Jake Sully and Zoe Saldaña as Neytiri. "It's bigger than you can imagine," Worthington told People in January 2024.
Jemaine Clement as Dr. Ian Garvin, a marine biologist. Britain Dalton as Lo'ak, Jake and Neytiri's second son and the narrator of the film. Trinity Jo-Li Bliss as Tuktirey ("Tuk"), Jake and Neytiri's eight-year-old daughter and their youngest child.
The fully grown avatar is much closer in appearance to the long-limbed Na'vi than to a human. Typical adult size ranges from nine to ten feet (2.75 to 3.0m) tall with blue skin, bioluminescent markings and large eyes with golden irises.
The Walt Disney Co. on Tuesday pushed the release of “Avatar 3” a year, bumping it from December 2024 to December 2025. The timeline is stretched even further for the next planned installments. “Avatar 4” is now slated to hit theaters in December 2029; “Avatar 5” is set to arrive in December 2031.
Originally, Avatar 3 was scheduled to release in December 2024, but Disney later altered its premiere lineup for a whole slew of film franchises, including Star Wars, Avengers and the Avatar sequels. Avatar 3 is now scheduled for a December 2025 release, with the later films arriving in 2029 and 2031.
James Cameron's Avatar script actually has Jake Sully aged 22 when he's first introduced, not 28. However, that's when he's back on Earth, getting into a bar fight that constitutes Avatar's most important deleted scene.
Because it's set so far in the future, humans have improved their ability to space travel, which is fortunate, because Pandora is a reported 4.37 light years away, as the film depicts it...
Her father is not a father, her father is another mother, Eywa, the Great Mother, the sentient life force of Pandora itself that exists in all things there, but is rarely understood. So essentially yes, Kiri was born from Eywa just like Anakin Skywalker was allegedly conceived by the Force itself and its midichlorians.
While Jake and Neytiri's oldest and youngest biological children, Neteyam and Tuktirey "Tuk", have four fingers, seemingly taking after their mother, their middle child, Lo'ak, has inherited five fingers.
Kiri te Suli Kìreysì'ite is a fourteen-year-old Na'vi, the adopted daughter of Jake Sully and Neytiri, and the biological daughter of Grace Augustine's avatar.
For one, even if Neytiri is 18 in human years, she's the Na'vi equivalent of a human in their early-to-mid-twenties. This is proven in three different ways: James Cameron has stated that Jake's avatar body is around 17 human years old.
Lo'ak te Suli Tsyeyk'itan is the fourteen-year-old son of Jake Sully and Neytiri, the younger brother of Neteyam, the older brother of his only biological youngest sister, Tuktirey, and the younger adoptive brother of Kiri.
Kiri is the inquisitive and intelligent adopted daughter of Jake Sully and Neytiri. Not long after Grace Augustine's death, her dormant avatar was discovered to be pregnant, and Jake and Neytiri adopted the child when she was born. Kiri has an unusually strong connection with Eywa—more than even that of a tsahìk.
But, the question still remains: Will Neteyam return to Avatar 3? The short and easy answer is, No. But, it's important to note that the Avatar franchise has brought dead characters back in the past. The Way of Water brought Quaritch back as a recombinant.
At the end of Avatar 1, Sully decides he wants to remain with the Na'vi, and successfully undergoes the transfer. It's never stated in the films what happened to his body, but in the comic Avatar: The Next Shadow, it's revealed that the Na'vi buried his human form.
