The producer of Avatar 2, Jon Landau said in a conversation with One News that “one of the great things about the film industry is that our spending is quite diversified. We don’t just spend money in one area. We spend money when we cater for 400 people a day – we go to the local market.”

According to Landau, the cast and crew approached the exemption application responsibly and followed every quarantine rule.

As far as the plot for Avatar 2 is concerned, Sigourney Weaver will be alive in Avatar 2 and as a human, this has been indicated through a new photo that features she (Weaver) as a human.
