Avatar: Way of Water Image Reveals New Underwater Whale Creature
A new image for Avatar: The Way of Water reveals a closer look at Pandora's underwater whale-like creature. Director James Cameron returns to the fictional planet for the sequel, which reunites much of the cast from the 2009 original, including Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Giovanni Ribisi, and Joel David Moore. Newcomers to the series include Kate Winslet, Michelle Yeoh, Jemaine Clement, Cliff Curtis, CCH Pounder, Oona Chaplin, and Edie Falco.

Another new creature in the film is the whale-like tulkun, which is glimped a few times in the first trailer for Avatar 2, but not seen in great detail.
