Boasting some of the most technologically advanced CGI to date, and some groundbreaking 3D tech, James Cameron's Avatar quickly became one of the highest-grossing movies of all time, even beating out the likes of Star Wars and Cameron's previous big-budget venture Titanic.

Though only two trailers have been released so far, it seems as though Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is shaping up nicely, with the innovative new Snowdrop Engine taking center stage.

But with Avatar 2: The Way of Water coming out soon, fans may be wondering just how, if at all, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora fits into the franchise's canon.
