Fans of James Cameron’s smash hit Avatar spent a whole decade waiting for its follow-up, but we finally know what to expect once this movie hits the theaters in 2020. Famous director shared details about upcoming sequel during an interview with Empire Magazine.

Jake and Neytiri will still be together the next we see them, but they won’t be alone. Cameron revealed the couple will have an eight year-old daughter in the upcoming installment, but won’t exactly be enjoying marital bliss.

“There’s a three-page argument scene between Jake and Neytiri, a marital dispute, very, very critical to the storyline. I wound up shooting it all from the point of view of the 8-year-old hiding under the structure and peeking in,” explained James Cameron.

This critical argument will be a part of an emotional rollercoaster that Jake is facing in Avatar 2, and the director promised he’s going to take him to some really dark places. We can’t wait to join him on this exciting journey on December 18, 2020 when this movie finally premieres.
