James Cameron has revealed that the Avatar sequel will explore Pandora's ocean.

Speaking to the Los Angeles Times, Cameron confirmed that he plans to expand the scope of the alien world and set much of Avatar 2 underwater.

"Part of my focus in the second film is in creating a different environment - a different setting within Pandora," he said. "And I'm going to be focusing on the ocean on Pandora, which will be equally rich and diverse and crazy and imaginative, but it just won't be a rain forest. I'm not saying we won't see what we've already seen; we'll see more of that as well."

Cameron has previously explored the depths of the ocean in The Abyss and Titanic, and more recently in his documentaries Expedition: Bismarck, Ghosts Of The Abyss and Aliens Of The Deep.
