The premiere event was held on December 12 (Mon.) in Los Angeles, U.S.A., to mark the finale of the world tour, including the promotional event held in Japan on December 10 (Sat.), before the film’s worldwide release this weekend.

The cast also includes Stephen Lang as Quaritch, who once again stands in the way of Jake and his friends.
The Weeknd, who sings the end song for the film, also made an appearance at the premiere event, which was a great success and a fitting end to his world tour.
Jake, a former marine who became a member of the mysterious planet Pandora, has started a family with Neytiri, a Na’vi woman, and lives peacefully with his children. However, he is forced out of the sacred “Pandora Forest” by a renewed human invasion, and he seeks help from the “Sea Tribe”.

Sam Worthington, who plays the role of Jake Sully, appeared on the “Avatar Blue” carpet!
When Sam was asked about his memories of the promotion of his visit to Japan a few days ago, he replied, “My stay in Japan was very short. But I was welcomed very enthusiastically by the Japanese people. They loved the “immersive” feeling of our film and the beautiful world of Pandora. I think Japan has very strong family ties. This film is a strong representation of that. He praised the enthusiasm of the Japanese fans.
And after the world tour, fans and media from all over the world said, “The pinnacle of filmmaking! The images are beyond expectations! The visuals and story are far beyond anything in the previous film!” I am so excited!

Stephen Lang, who plays Quaritch in the film, said of the film, which was nominated for a Golden Globe Award and is a strong contender for an Academy Award, “I am very happy that this film has been supported.

When I walked the blue carpet at the Japan premiere, it was wonderful to see how the fans gathered there to support this film from the bottom of their hearts.

The film opens with the most eye- and heart-stopping “visual experience” in human history that only Cameron, who loves the sea so much, can portray and that mankind can experience today.
