Now that the highly anticipated first teaser trailer for Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) is out, we can finally speculate about the plot and delve into new details of the sequel. For example, the trailer introduces a new tribe of the Na’vi: the Metkayina.
In the first movie we got to know the blue beings as the Na’vi. However, this was only part of their people, the Omaticaya tribe who live in the rainforest. This time we also get to see how the Metkayina fare on Pandora. This new tribe lives mainly on water, which also explains the title of the sequel.
If a tribe has lived on the oceans forever, it will be culturally very different from a tribe [Omaticaya] who lived in the rainforest.
Producer Jon Landau
Where the Omaticaya ride on direhorses, the Metkayina use the so-called ilus as their favorite companion to glide across the Pandoran oceans, a dino-like creature with a long neck. Also, the Metkayina’s eyes are significantly larger and have a blue color instead of yellow. The forearms are finally extended with a fin-like structure, and the tails are broadened to a paddle shape and lack a tuft of hair at the end.

The new Metkayina members will be played by Crazy Rich Asians star Michelle Yeoh and Kate Winslet, who previously worked with director James Cameron on Titanic (1997). Yeoh is also sure of a role in Avatar 3, 4 and 5. The recordings of part 3 have already been completed, part 4 and 5 are currently being made.
