Currently, the extent of the Weeknd's involvement will be in the film or the soundtrack, reported Variety.
'Avatar: The Way of Water' stars Zoe Saldana, Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Cliff Curtis, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Edie Falco, Jemaine Clement, and Kate Winslet.
20th Century Studios will release the movie in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam on December 16, 2022.
As per Deadline, behind the scenes, reports have claimed that the production budget alone for the film has reached USD 250 million.
A sequel to the Award-winning 2009 epic adventure 'Avatar,' which was released in theatres 13 years ago, the script for 'Avatar: The Way of Water' comes from Cameron and Josh Friedman.
