Fans of Avatar will soon be able to watch (or re-watch) Jame Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water on Disney+ and HBO Max. The film’s streaming debut is scheduled for June 7th, 2023, and will include special bonus content from the cast and crew as well as filmmakers.
As stated in an announcement from Disney+ Media Relations today:
“Avatar: The Way of Water reaches new heights and explores undiscovered depths as James Cameron returns to the world of Pandora in this emotionally packed action adventure. Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, Avatar: The Way of Water launches the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure. All of this against the backdrop of the breathtaking seascapes of Pandora, where audiences are introduced to new Na’vi cultures and a range of exotic sea creatures.”
Avatar: The Way of Water was produced by James Cameron and Jon Landau. It stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Cliff Curtis, Kate Winslet, Britain Dalton, Jamie Flatters, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, Bailey Bass, and Jack Champion. The story was written by James Cameron, Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, Josh Friedman, and Shane Salerno, and executive produced by David Valdes and Richard Baneham.
The film had a theatrical debut on December 16th, 2022, and quickly became the third highest-grossing film globally, racking up around $2.32 billion in box office ticket sales, knocking Titanic (1997) from its long-held spot. The first Avatar (2009) and Avengers: Endgame (2019) hold steady in the top two spots, totaling $2.92 billion and $2.79 billion respectively. It’s been nominated for several Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and wowed audiences with stellar visual effects, available theatrically in 2D, 3D HFR, and 4DX IMAX experiences.
The film is available to rent or buy on all digital retailers, such as Apple TV, Prime Video, Vudu, Google Play, and Movie Anywhere.
