The footage is devoid of dialog, except for Sam Worthington's Jake uttering a line to Zoe Saldana's Neytiri: \"This family is our fortress.\"

According to 20th Century Studios, \"Avatar: The Way of Water\" is set a decade after the original, and \"begins to tell the story of returning heroes Jake and Neytiri and their children, the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure.\"

The movie, which stars returning performers Sigourney Weaver and Stephen Lang, as well as newcomers CCH Pounder, Edie Falco, Jemaine Clement and Kate Winslet, opens Dec. 16.
