Avatar: The Way of Water
After 13 years, viewers will finally return to Pandora in James Cameron's much-anticipated movie Avatar: The Way of Water.
Set over a decade after the events in the 2009 film, the upcoming science-fiction epic will follow Sam Worthington's Jake Sully who has permanently become a "Na'vi" and the great lengths he will have to go to protect his family.
Zoe Saldaña also returns as Sully's mate and future chief of her clan Neytiri.
Sigourney Weaver will also appear in the movie, but as a completely different character: Sully and Neytiri's adoptive daughter Kiri.

Babylon
Margot Robbie has garnered major Oscar-buzz for her performance in the upcoming comedy-drama Babylon.
Set in the 1920s, the film follows a young Mexican-American actor who gets swept up in the glitz and glamour of Hollywood while trying to start his career.
Robbie plays an unhinged, self-proclaimed wild-child, and up-and-coming actor Nellie LaRoy who aspires to be a Hollywood legend like Joan Crawford and Clara Bow.
Brad Pitt also stars in the dazzling flick as an "aging" film icon Jack Conrad.
Old Hollywood never seemed more intriguing! Babylon hits theaters on December 23.
