Set Photo From ‘Avatar’ Sequels Reveals New RDA Installation Called Bridgehead

The Avatar sequels are chugging along as Avatar 2 has completed live-action filming with Avatar 3 about to complete as well.

It’s official Twitter account has been posting random information and set photos revealing tidbits about the new movies including new military vehicles likely from RDA’s SpecOps. The latest one includes a science lab at a new RDA installation that will be called Bridgehead as they lost the other installation Hell’s Gate in the last film.

The evil corporation attempted to commit genocide against the native population of Pandora to secure their mining operation and likely will be more than a little upset when they return with extra forces.

Fresh Concept Artwork From ‘Avatar’ Sequels – New RDA Aquatic Vehicle Called The Crabsuit Revealed

The official Avatar Twitter account has dropped two new pieces of concept artwork from the upcoming films, this time highlighting a brand new RDA submersible vehicle called The Crabsuit. 

The Crabsuit: A human driven multifunction submersible. One of the many new RDA vehicles that will be seen in the Avatar sequels. 

It seems like they’ve sort of used the cockpit from the C-21 Dragon Assault Ship from the first movie. The Sea Dragon was another vehicle previously revealed through set photos. 

James Cameron and the team recently resumed the live-action portion of filming at Stone Street Studios in Wellington, New Zealand. 

However, it was officially announced that the release date would be getting pushed back an entire year because of the production delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Here are those new release dates. 

  • AVATAR 2 – 12/16/22 
  • AVATAR 3 – 12/20/24 
  • AVATAR 4 – 12/18/26 
  • AVATAR 5 – 12/22/28

‘Avatar’ Sequels Have Officially Resumed Production In New Zealand

Yesterday, producer Jon Landau announced via his Instagram account (has oddly removed all his previous tweets) that the Avatar sequels have now resumed the live-action portion of the filming in Wellington, New Zealand.

Production is taking place at the Stone Street Studios facility.

Jon posted this image from the set.

LANDAU: “Used my iPhone to snap a picture of our first shot back in production on the Avatar sequels.”

This comes after their 14-day mandatory isolation as per government regulations.

The Avatar sequels are seemingly the first major productions to resume after the pandemic first broke out, worth noting that New Zealand has only had two new cases of COVID-19 over the last 24 days. The remote island nation is certainly in much better position to resume filming than the United States or even the United Kingdom.

It’s unknown if the production delays from back in March will directly impact the release date of December 17th, 2021.
