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.

Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, film productions were brought to a halt. Disney had recently announced that the Avatar films have been pushed back a year after rescheduling its film release calendar. This means that Avatar 2 will now be releasing in December 2022.
Consequently, all the other sequels have also been pushed back a year. This implies that Avatar 3 will release in December 2024 and Avatar 4 will be released in December 2026. Likewise, Avatar 5 will be releasing in December 2028.
