Production is back up following a prolonged shut down owing to the coronavirus. Director James Cameron and his team are reportedly shooting with a new technology, designed exclusively for the Avatar universe.

Another series of pictures are from a Hawaai trip. The photos however are dated three years old when work on ‘Avatar 2’ began.
