Avatar: The Way of Water is the biggest blockbuster to debut in the post-COVID-19 era, and fans are eager to learn about the James Cameron-directed blockbuster Disney Plus release date. Although the producers haven’t officially announced it yet, there is some speculation that could help identify the timing avatar 2 will be published on the platform..
When is Avatar: The Way of Water coming to Disney Plus?
Fans can expect Avatar: The Way of Water to come out on Disney Plus July 5, 2023.
While Disney hasn’t confirmed that exact date, we can make a reasonable estimate based on previous postings on the streaming services. The film hit the digital market on March 28, 2023, more than 90 days after its theatrical release on December 16, 2022. Another 90 days could likely pass before Avatar: The Way of Water comes to Disney Plus to allow producers the maximum digital release – which came with a lot of bonus content – revenue.
Disney Plus also releases its biggest movies on Wednesdays. Therefore, July 5th seems like the most likely date that fans should see the film. Typically, Disney Plus subscribers can watch their favorite movies about 90 days after they hit theaters. Producers took a different tack with the Avatar sequel, making it the longest release in the streamer’s history.
We’ll update this article once there’s an official release date for Avatar: The Way of Water Disney Plus.
“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 children), the troubles that follow them, the struggles they make protect each other, the battles they fight to stay alive and the tragedies they endure,” read the official synopsis.
