If you’re heading to the cinema this weekend to catch the re-release of Avatar, there’s some good news: you’ll see brand-new footage from Avatar 2 in the post-credits.
James Cameron’s original mega-hit – still the biggest movie of all time – is returning to the big screen ahead of the release of Avatar: The Way of Water, the first of four sequels set to expand the world of Pandora as we know it.
The original film has been remastered to mark the occasion, revitalized with 4K High Dynamic Range and 9.1 sound, and returning to IMAX theaters in 3D.
If you’re one of the many who’ve booked tickets, you’re in for a treat in the post-credits: according to viewers on social media, there’s some new footage from Avatar 2 at the end.
