Avatar: The Way of Water Stars Describe the Intense Process of Learning to Act Underwater

The Avatar: The Way of Water stars described what it was like to pull off the film's many underwater scenes. The sequel to the smash hit Avatar takes fans back to Pandora as director James Cameron continues the adventures of Jake and Neytiri . The opening weekend box office projects currently find Avatar: The Way of Water opening anywhere in the $135-$175-million range, showing there is still significant interest in the world of Avatar.

"We were the guinea pigs," Sam Worthington told Fandango correspondent, Nikki Novak, about filming underwater for Avatar: The Way of Water."We worked with a world-renowned expert, Kirk, for months," Saldaña added, with Weaver chiming in,"We studied for about a year. We started getting certified for scuba. I remember even the first day, [Cameron] has you be very still with your face in the water and we were able to hold out breath for a minute, which surprised me.

How Avatar: The Way of Water Surpasses the First AvatarAccording to Zoe Saldaña, Avatar 2's underwater 3D is nothing less than a"groundbreaking" culmination of James Cameron's career-long obsession with oceans and deep sea exploration. And we are not ready: "I do believe and my hope is that we'll have the same reaction that we had for Avatar 1. And that will be more than okay, because that was groundbreaking already as it was," Saldaña explained.

"I think it's even more mind-blowing than the first one," Weaver said in a follow-up."Because it's just such a new element for us as human beings to feel comfortable underwater. And to feel a connection with the creatures that live underwater. It's very much what I think Jim would dream of if he could create any experience for us – to give us the ability to be underwater without needing to breathe. And he's given it to us here and in such a breathtaking way.
