Five kids, including some new arrivals, pose together outside among landscaped greenery and rocks at the park, facing the camera with calm expressions, ready for their next adventure.

The long-awaited follow-up to 2009’s “Avatar” doesn’t arrive in theaters until 2020, but thanks to Entertainment Weekly, we have a first look at some of the film’s new faces.

The children of human Sully (Sam Worthington) and Na’vi Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) play an important role in the sequel. They’re joined in this photo by the children of another Na’vi clan, the Metkayina, who live on oceanic atoll reefs. The Metkayina are ruled by Tonowari (Cliff Curtis).

All of these young stars will appear in the film as CG Na’vi characters, except for Jack Champion (standing second from the right). He plays Javier “Spider” Socorro, a human teenager born at Hell’s Gate military complex.

A group of seven young characters, inspired by the vibrant new faces from Avatar 2, gather amidst lush greenery and impressive rock formations, evoking the immersive atmosphere of Pandora as seen in themed entertainment experiences.

Courtesy of Slashfilm, we know the other actors from left to right are: Britain Dalton (Lo’ak of the Sully Family), Filip Geljo (Aonung of the Metkayina Clan), Jamie Flatters (Neteyam of the Sully Family), Bailey Bass (Tsireya of the Metkayina Clan), Trinity Bliss (Tuktirey of the Sully Family), and Duane Evans Jr. (Rotxo of the Metkayina Clan).

Seven teens, some recognizable and some newcomers, gather for a group photo in front of Pandora – The World of Avatar’s striking twisted tree roots and rocky formations at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, evoking the lush movie setting from Avatar: The Way of Water.

“Avatar 2,” officially part of “The Avatar Sequels,” began filming on September 25.

The film arrives in theaters on December 18, 2020.
