Avatar 2 shooting had already started in the month of March but the coronavirus pandemic halted its further shoot as safety precautions. However, New Zealand was also among the affected countries and was in the lockdown but the situation has improved a lot there and the production work has been allowed to resume.

Directed by James Cameron, the initial release date of the film is scheduled for December 17, 2021 (US). However, it will be interesting to see if the makers will stick to the same date or revise it.

Talking about the original Avatar, it was released in 2009 and was the highest-grossing movie ever with $ 2.79 Billion until the Avengers: Endgame release which is now the highest-grossing movie with nearly $ 2.80 Billion worldwide.
