The much-awaited sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, is about to arrive in a few months after more than a decade of waiting and Jake and Neytiri will be having a family to keep the characters grounded and bound to others according to James Cameron in an interview with Empire.

James Cameron even compared Avatar: The Way of Water to big franchises such as the MCU and DC where heroes have no children to bind them with other responsibilities such as keeping a family, with the exception, of course, to some characters.

Cameron said, "I’m a father of five. I look around – I don’t want to specifically say the Marvel Universe, or the DC Universe – at current fantasy and science-fiction and all these heroes seem unbound in the mire of relationships, the stuff that pulls you down and clips your wings, that stops you running around and risking your life."

Cameron added, "I thought, ‘What if I take these incredible characters of Jake and Neytiri and give them a family?’ That gives them feet of clay right there."
