While the highly anticipated sequel toAvatar, Avatar: The Way of Water will be released in theaters on December 14, Disney + has just removed from its world catalog, without prior announcement, the first part of the James Cameron saga, released in 2009.
If it is not uncommon for the streaming platform to be forced to withdraw titles in certain countries due to contractual obligations, this is the first time that this has happened on a global scale.
remastered version
But fans rest assured, this is just a simple promotional ploy. Upstream of the launch ofAvatar 220th Century Studios will present a new remastered version ofAvatarwhich will be shown in theaters around the world from September 23, 2022.
It is therefore to encourage the public to see this reissue in theaters that the original film has been temporarily removed from the Disney + content list. Then it should go back online on the platform in this new format, but at the moment no date has been announced for the return to streaming of James Cameron’s feature film.
