The official poster of Avatar: The Way of Water has been released with four characters highlighted: Jake, Neytiri, Lo’ak, and Tsireya. Lo’ak is the second child of Jake and Neytiri whereas Tsireya is a free-diver from Metkayina. As teased in the trailer, Lo’ak and Tsireya are hinted to be involved in a romantic relationship even when they are from different tribes. Their presence in the official poster points to their bigger role in the sequel, possibly sparking some conflict. Throughout the trailers, a battle is about to happen and the official poster, too, teases the same battle which may be led by Jake. An inner conflict is also revealed in the trailer between Jake and Neytiri, probably about keeping their family safe.

It is only Kiri who can hear the mysterious heartbeat which she refers to as “her,” indicating that it is a female. Could it be Eywa speaking to Kiri?
