James Cameron's Avatar enjoyed the status of the highest-grossing film of all time until it was dethroned by Avengers: Endgame. But, Cameron might earn the spot back with the upcoming sequel of the film, Avatar 2, which is being filmed back to back with Avatar 3. The shooting of the movie was delayed because Cameron had to develop a new technology that will help him capture the motion of the actors seamlessly underwater. Not a new thing for the director as for Avatar, too, he had to develop a new kind of camera. Majority of Avatar 2 will be set underwater.

Producer Jon Landau has said, "We built a water tank that was 500,000 gallons of water, and we are doing performance-capture under the water, on the surface of the water, and above the water. We trained our cast to free-breath-hold, because in the sequences they have to just be swimming, they can't be on scuba, and they have to be able to do long takes."
