The film picks up after the events of 2009’s Avatar . The first film follows Jake Sully (played by Sam Worthington), a human who travels to Pandora to aid in colonization efforts. He interacts with the Na’vi, who live on the planet, by piloting a genetically engineered member of their species remotely . Over the course of the film, he meets Neytiri (played by Zoe Saldana) and begins to adapt to their way of living. Jake eventually turns against the humans, and the film ends with him becoming a true Na’vi. In the sequel, Jake and Neytiri will have a family and encounter more conflict.

Both Worthington and Saldana have returned to reprise their roles as Jake and Neytiri, respectively.
