Final 'Avatar: The Way of Water' Trailer Promises a Generation-Defining Experience.

The new trailer features a jaw-dropping return to the world of Pandora.

There's officially less than a month left until the sequel to the highest-grossing film of all time, Avatar: The Way of Water, releases in theaters. For years now, fans have waited anxiously to set foot back on Pandora once again and follow more of Jake and Neytiri's story. In the 13 years since the original film, things have changed drastically with the two forming a family together and trying to make things work. With a familiar threat on the rise though, they're forced to relocate and take the fight back up against the encroaching human threat. A new trailer builds up that conflict and the stakes at risk in the return to James Cameron's epic sci-fi world.

The new footage shows more of the highly anticipated return to Pandora, reuniting audiences with the Sully family and all of the trouble that follows them. There's no shortage of high-flying action, deep-sea dives, and the sparks of romance and familial connections that make Cameron's world so compelling.

The Way of Water is heavily expanding on the world of Pandora with a heavy focus on marine life and the native Metkayina tribe. It's all part of Cameron's plans to create a truly massive world to revisit throughout its multiple sequels in the upcoming years. In a previous interview with Empire, the director drew parallels to The Lord of the Rings and the expansive stories illustrated across J.R.R. Tolkien's novels. With a massive runtime of over three hours, the film is expected to take its time acquainting audiences with the aquatic life seen throughout teasers and sewing the seeds for a grand storyline spanning the four sequels.
