The Avatar sequels have been pushed back by a year due to COVID 19 pandemic. However, producer Jon Landau released new behind the scenes photos of the upcoming sequels of Avatar. The producer shared some new concept art and the first look at one of the underwater vehicles that the filmmakers called Crabsuit.

Avatar 2 underwater Crabsuit vehicle

The official account of Avatar films shared pictures of the new “human driven multifunction submersible”. It is one of the many new RDA vehicles that will be seen in the Avatar sequels. The new vehicle is called the “Crabsuit” as it resembles a large crab in a mechanical form. Just like a crab, it has six robotic legs to stabilise the vessel when it would be on dry land. From the pictures, one can see that legs may retract into the ship’s shell when the vehicle is submerged underwater through the depths of Pandora’s azure blue seas. Check out the pictures below.

IGN.com reported that producer Landau had previously revealed that a lot of time will be spent on the water, around the water, in the water in the Avatar sequels. Further, the portal reported that in the sequels Jake and Neytiri would be forced to leave their home and to explore different regions of Pandora. Landau had also reportedly shared a photo of two high-tech underwater ships, one of which was a high-speed forward command Matador vessel and the other being a smaller Picador jetboat. Check out the pictures below.
