00:00You got to show an extended look at Avatar The Way of Water to the crowd here today at D23.

00:05What was it like seeing their reaction?

00:07Well, it's weird because I wasn't looking at the reaction.

00:10I'm immersed in the scene.

00:12And the weird thing is, even though I know what's happening and I've done it,

00:15I still get carried away with it and it still touches me.

00:17So that's a good sign.

00:19Was it your first time seeing it here today?

00:21No, I've seen quite a lot. That's the weird thing.

00:23And I know what's going to happen in the story.

00:25But I still got swept away. It's great.

00:28What are you most excited for fans of the first film to see in the sequel that they've been waiting for for so long?

00:33Well, I think Avatar is like a dream.

00:35And I think it transported people and then reflected a bit of their own humanity back at them.

00:41And I think the great thing about what we've done is we're now allowed to share the next part of that dream.

00:46And you're hoping those feelings are going to come flooding back.

00:48So that's what I'm excited about.

00:50There are lots of young actors joining the cast this time around.

00:53What was it like working with them and seeing them go through such rigorous training

00:56to be a part of the Avatar world?

00:58Look, it's good. It's like a boot camp for them.

01:02And the great thing is they're all pretty grounded considering all what happens when the world turns 180.

01:08But the movie is about protecting your family.

01:10That's what it's about whether it's your immediate family or the family that you choose.

01:13That's what it's about.

01:15And I think we've all gone through COVID and you realize the importance of family

01:19and that that love is what is the nourishment of our time on this planet, I think.

01:23And Jake Sully says it. That's worth fighting for.
