Only yesterday, a news outlet in Croatia published pictures of the actress arriving at the hospital. In the pictures, she was surrounded by many other people as she made her way in.

The injury ordeal comes ater Kate previously discussed how she learned an incredible underwater ‘superpower’ for her role in the new “Avatar: The Way Of Water.” The star, who is no stranger to being in bodies of water for a long period of time in movies, learned how to hold her breath for a shocking number of minutes.

Speaking to Empire about her role as Ronal, a free diver of the Metkayina, the 46-year-old said that she learned how to hold her breath in a 900,000-gallon water tank for longer than any other cast member. “Seven minutes and 14 seconds, baby!” she told the publicatio­n. “The most amazing thing for me as a middle-aged

Meanwhile, during a presentati­on at the D23 Expo, 20th Century Studios dropped a major surprise on fans by revealing several scenes from “Avatar: The Way of Water,” James Cameron’s second installmen­t of his epic sci-fi franchise. It also showed a new trailer. The film is set for a Dec.16 release in theatres, reports Deadline.

The scenes, which were in 3D, were shown for atendees on two huge screens in the main Anaheim Convention Center room where the studio’s presentati­ons with Disney siblings Marvel and Lucasfilm were held. One scene showed the Nav’i swimming underwater. Another is a youngster saying he wants to be different from his father.

Additional­ly, there were scenes of some kind of hostage situation, with combat in the woods at night. Another moment showed an emotional conversati­on between Sam Worthingto­n’s and Zoe Saldana’s characters. A tribal leader tells younger Nav’i that war is bad.

A sequel to 2009’s Avatar, the script comes from cameron and josh friedman, with worthingto­n and Saldana starring alongside Michelle Yeoh, Kate Winslet, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Oona Chaplin and more. Cameron joined the presentati­on virtually from New Zealand, where he is finishing the film and working in the middle of a “prety hectic” five-year production cycle on the second, third and fourth installmen­ts of the series.
