The Avatar: The Way of Water Disney+ release date has been confirmed. As the biggest blockbuster that debuted in the post-COVID-19 era, fans are no doubt eager to know the James Cameron-directed blockbuster’s Disney+ release date. Here’s when Avatar 2 will release on Disney+.
When is Avatar: The Way of Water coming out on Disney+?
The Avatar: The Way of Water Disney+ release date is June 7, 2023.
The movie hit the digital market on March 28, 2023, more than 90 days after its theatrical release on December 16, 2022. The lengthy delay has no doubt allowed producers to maximize the digital release — which came with plenty of bonus content — earnings.
Usually, Disney+ subscribers can watch their favorite movies roughly 90 days after their theatrical release. With the Avatar sequel, producers took a different route, making it the longest release in the streamer’s history.
“Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, Avatar: The Way of Water begins to tell the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure,” reads the official synopsis.
Avatar: The Way of Water was directed and co-written by Cameron, who started the franchise with 2009’s Avatar. The cast saw the return of Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Joel David Moore, Stephen Lang, and Sigourney Weaver, among others. Additional cast members include Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Edie Falco, Michelle Yeoh, and more.
The movie grossed over $2.3 billion at the box office, one of the biggest successes in movie history. Fans can expect more Avatar movies in the future, with Avatar 3 already having a tentative release date on December 20, 2024, Avatar 4 set for December 18, 2026, and Avatar 5 on December 22, 2028.
