If you conceived a child on the opening night of James Cameron’s Avatar they would nearly be a teenager by the time Avatar: The Way of Water opens this December. So it makes a good deal of sense that the director wants to remind you of his record-breaking sci-fi spectacle before the sequel arrives.
Disney and 20th Century Studios have now announced Avatar will return to theaters on September 23 in 4K High Dynamic Range. Ahead of the re-release—because of which Disney+ has actually pulled Avatar from their service to drum up theatrical-viewing demand—they’ve also unveiled a new trailer and poster. As for those sequels: they may not take up the rest of Cameron’s career, as he recently expressed that he is considering passing the baton after he completes the trilogy.
Watch below.
