As Saldana recounted: "I can get choked up just talking about it because I was able to see just 20 minutes of the second installment right before the year ended, last year.
"And I was speechless, I was moved to tears."
Cameron also spoke out about the franchise's follow-up films, as he explained on a video call with longtime collaborator Arnold Schwarzenegger: "We're a hundred percent complete on Avatar 2 and we're sort of ninety-five percent complete on Avatar 3," he confirmed, much to the delight of fans everywhere.
The director then added that he felt 'very lucky' to have chosen New Zealand for the film shoot as it helped them film the sequel while under Covid restrictions.

"We made the first film here in New Zealand, and it's ranked either first or second best country in the world for its Covid response – sometimes Germany's in the number one spot, sometimes New Zealand's in the number one spot.
"But we're actually able to operate."
Avatar 2 is set to premiere on 16 December, but the story won't end there as it's set to be followed by another three instalments in the coming years, ending with Avatar 5.
