‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ Cast: All the Famous Actors You Didn’t Know Voice Characters in ‘Avatar 2’
If you’ve watched Avatar 2, you may be wondering who’s in the Avatar: The Way of Water cast and who voices characters like Ronal, Tonowari and Kiri in the blockbuster sequel.
Avatar: The Way of Water is the sequel to 2009’s Avatar, James Cameron’s sci-fi epic set in the mid-22nd century as humans colonize the world of Pandora, a thriving moon of a gas giant in the Alpha Centauri star system, to mine the valuable mineral, unobtanium. The colonization threatens the existence of the local tribe, Na’vi, a special indigenous to Pandora who humans can communicate with via an avatar or a genetically engineered Na’vi body operated from the brain of a remote human. The movie went on to gross more than $2 billion and break various box office records, including becoming the highest-grossing movie of all time, a record it held for almost a decade before it was overtaken by Avengers: Endgame in 2019. The film was also nominated for nine Oscars at the Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.

Avatar: The Way of Water, which comes 13 years after the release of the first Avatar movie, is set more than a decade after the original Avatar and tells the story of Jake Sully, a former human who fell in love with a Na’vi named Neytiri, and his family, as Sully and Neytiri go to extreme lengths to keep themselves and each other safe. “I get quite emotional talking about it because what Jim ’s done [is] he’s made it about a family. And it’s powerful. Not only is it visually stunning and you’re seeing a part of Pandora that you’ve never seen before, all underwater, but it’s about what you do to protect your family. And I think after COVID everybody needs that kind of message. It’s about what you would do for those that you love. It’s amazing,” Sam Worthington, who plays Sully, told Jimmy Fallon in an interview on The Tonight Show in 2022.

Who voices Jake Sully in Avatar: The Way of Water?
Who voices Jake Sully in Avatar: The Way of Water? Sam Worthington is the voice of Sully, a former human who fell in love with a Na’vi named Neytiri in the 2009 Avatar movie after he became a member of the Avatar program and took the Na’vi’s side in their conflict with humans, leading them to victory. At the end of Avatar, Sully left his human body to permanently become a Na’vi. In Avatar: The Way of Water, Sully is the chief of the Omaticaya and the father of four children with Neytiri: sons Neteyam and Lo’Ak and daughters Tuk and Kiri. Along with Sully in the Avatar movies, Worthington has also starred in movies like Hacksaw Ridge and The Last Son and shows like JAG and Under the Banner of Heaven.
Who voices Neytiri in Avatar: The Way of Water?
Who voices Neytiri in Avatar: The Way of Water? Zoe Saldaña is the voice of Neytiri, Jake Sully’s mate and the daughter of the former leaders of the Omaticaya.

She’s also starred in TV shows like From Scratch.
In an interview with Women’s Wear Daily in 2022, Saldana opened up about what it was like to return as Neytiri in Avatar: The Way of Water more than a decade after the original movie. “Avatar, it’s just my baby. It’s everybody’s baby. And to see this baby now being a teenager, like a young adult and getting to share it with the world is just…I felt like this day would never come and it’s finally here,” she said. She continued, “The reintroduction is also the refreshing of it. The rejuvenation of it is also very exciting. Look, I’m not aiming to get the same results that we got in the first one because that was a surprise. That was a wonderful surprise. We were not expecting it. And the reception was just imaginably beautiful. Obviously I’m hoping for Avatar 2: The Way of Water to have a very beautiful impact on people. But it’s not for the sake of breaking any records or making a ton of money. I think this saga is special. It was made with a lot of love and a lot of work. And it’s an experience worth having.”
She also told the magazine about how the franchise has changed her life. “In terms of the way that I approach work, I seem to have gone back to the way I started, which is just to give 120 percent and do the homework and go to bed early and focus on my work. But after Avatar, when you’re young and all of the time you have, the opportunity to travel and to go to lavish dinners and wear beautiful outfits and the nightlife became very attractive,” she said. “It was a lot of working hard and a lot of [playing] hard that sometimes got in the way of me feeling fully, fully proud of the work I was doing — because I did the work. And now that I’m a little older and I would like to consider myself a little wiser, it’s going back to that [feeling] of having those healthy boundaries for myself of ‘go to bed early, really work. I know you’re tired. I know you really want to go out and go with your kids and just say, ‘Fuck my rehearsal and fuck my practice and fuck this session.‘ But I don’t. I still manage to focus on family life and also focus on my work. And I feel good.”
Saldana, who also starred in science-fiction movies like Star Trek and Guardians of the Galaxy, also told Women’s Wear Daily about how she felt “stuck” in the genre. “I feel that for the last 10 years of my life, I’ve been just stuck. I felt stuck doing these franchises,” she said. “I’m very grateful for the opportunities that they provided, from collaborating with amazing directors and getting to meet cast members that I consider friends and getting to play a role that fans, especially children, love. But it also meant that I felt artistically stuck in my craft of not being able to expand or grow or challenge myself by playing different sorts of genres and different roles. So this is something that I wanted to do for a very long time. And wrestling, too, with this pressure that society puts on women that your youth is gone as soon as you have children and you go into your 40s.” She continued, “But today, now that I’m 44, I’ve been able to have these opportunities, and I took control over my aging and I took control over my voice and how I consider myself as a woman. And I’m so happy that I’m able to collaborate with filmmakers and producers and people in this industry that want that for women, that want women to be ageless and who don’t fetishize women’s youth. And so it’s interesting. It’s really interesting.”
