As reported earlier this week, it will soon be time to return to Pandora in the upcoming Avatar sequels.
Now 20th Century Fox has released an image via Twitter that shows the new cast, and they’re… young.

In addition to the youngsters, the original cast is expected to return, including Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana.
According to CBR, all of the kids save for one will be getting the CGI Na’vi treatment, as they are the children of Jake Sully (Worthington) and Neytiri (Saldana).
Each actor will of course get a CG Na’vi makeover, with the exception of the character Javier “Spider” Socorro (played by Jack Champion, the kid on the right in the blue shirt), a human teenager, born at the Hell’s Gate military complex.
“We never had this youthful element before, and that brings a different kind of energy to the film,” producer Jon Landau said, teasing the sequel’s youthful element. “They represent the future generation of Pandora and play a very significant role — not just in this movie but throughout all the movies.”
The photo was taken in Disney’s Pandora – The World of Avatar themed land in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This seems fitting as Disney has a lot riding on the Fox sequels (what an odd thing to type!) and there are rumors of an expansion based on the sequels.
Avatar 2 is expected to be released on December 18, 2020.
