People will soon see James Cameron's blockbuster hit "Avatar 2" two years from now.

Not much has been known about the upcoming movie, but "Avatar's" Zoe Saldana, known for her role in the movie as Neytiri, may have just given away some spoilers, Franchise Herald reported.

Saldana revealed during her interview with MTV News that the acclaimed director has been setting up the studio for the last three years.

Furthermore, the "Guardians of the Galaxy" actress had toured the location and the director already told her stories.

However, she hasn't read the movie scripts because the team is still working on them.

The actress also revealed that as the director told her stories, everyone got emotional. While there was no information beyond that, speculations point to Jake Sully's (Sam Worthington) story in the upcoming sequel.

Referring to the first film, Cameron said it gave focus to Jake's and his family's story, which could be carried over to the second film.

"We spread it around quite a bit more as we go forward," the director said, giving hints that the upcoming sequels could be compared to a "Godfather" saga.

Meanwhile, "Avatar 2" will have a prison theme, with humans and Na'vi encounters bringing more drama to the story.

In a report from Christian Post, it mentioned that Sigourney Weaver will come back after dying in the first film. Several reports pointed that her character will be different from the original one.

The movie will also be set in the vast ocean world of Pandora and it is expected to be a grander movie with remarkable graphics since Cameron and the team were busy setting up the studio to make it much more compelling and unique.

As for other cast updates, it was already reported that Michelle Rodriguez won't be coming back for the sequel, which is a bit heartbreaking for her fans.
