The wait is over, as James Cameron’s epic sci-fi saga Avatar, the second installment of the franchise, Avatar: The Way of Water, will be available to stream on Disney Plus Hotstar from June 7 in six languages - English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. The streaming giant announced the news on its social media handles with a poster of the film.
Avatar: The Way of Water is a visual spectacle that takes the viewers back to the alien world of Pandora, more than a decade after the events of the first film. The story follows the Sully family and their struggles with the humans and the creatures of Pandora. The film features stunning underwater scenes that were filmed using motion capture technology, a challenge that delayed the production several times.
The film was released in theaters on December 16, 2022, and became the highest-grossing film post-pandemic and the third-highest-grossing film of all time, earning a whopping sum of $2.3 billion at the global box office. It also won an Oscar for Best Visual Effects and was nominated for three more Academy Awards.
Avatar: The Way of Water is behind its prequel Avatar which sits right at the top of the worldwide box office with $2.9 billion, and Avengers: Endgame, which earned $2.7 billion globally. This means that James Cameron has three films among the top five highest-grossing films - Avatar, Avatar 2, and Titanic.
Avatar: The Way of Water is the second of five planned sequels to Avatar. The next three films are already in post-production and are scheduled to release in 2024, 2026, and 2028 respectively. All these films will be directed by James Cameron.
Return to Pandora💙
