With the long-awaited release ofJames Cameron’sAvatar: The Way of Waterjust around the corner, the film’s marketing campaign continues to build momentum as a new poster has been revealed via the official IMAXTwitterpage, which features a stunning look at Pandora’s underwater world.
With Pandora’s oceans playing a prominent role in the upcoming sequel, the poster fully showcases several of the new marine animals that will be present in the upcoming movie. The most notable of these creatures is the large whale-like animal, referred to as a Tulkun in the film, swimming gracefully across the water. The animal is likely to play a significant role in the overall story, with the mostrecent TV spotfeaturing the Tulkun fighting alongside the Na’Vi against the threat of humanity.
The poster effectively showcases the visual spectacle of the film that can only be experienced in IMAX, with the logo prominently featured at the center. Alongside some of the new animals for the movie, the poster also features the seabed of Pandora’s oceans with a tease of some of the coral reefs that will likely offer audiences an environmental spectacle that could rival the rain forests and floating mountains of the first film. If the marketing material from the film is any indication, the sequel will likely carry over the environmental themes from the firstAvatar, this time focusing on the importance of marine conservation.
