Earlier, producer Jon Landau had revealed that the production of Avatar 2 in New Zealand will actually be beneficial for the country's economy. The producer was speaking to a news portal in New Zealand where he'd revealed that the production of Avatar 2 itself is going to hire over 400 crew personnel from New Zealand, where a sum of $70 million will be spent during the production of Avatar 2.

The producer believes that putting in heavy sum for the sequel's production in New Zealand will actually help the studios to put un more money though the coming years for the production of the upcoming Avtar films which have been scheduled. But more importantly, the producer believes that resuming the shoots of Avatar 2 in New Zealand is actually a signal for other big films that even they can begin shooting their films in the country if they follow the norms set up to curb the spread of COVID-19.
