Much has been made about whether the sequel to the long-awaited and arguably delayed 2009 behemoth has anything to offer during its 3-hour run.
Beyond beautiful images and blue people with dreadlocks, there are many doubts about whether the film directed by James Cameron will manage to meet commercial expectations.
At the moment Avatar: The Way of Water has a great musical name to give it greater prominence and that is that The Weeknd will collaborate on the tape.
The Weeknd and his collaboration with Avatar 2
It is not the first time that The Weeknd has appeared on the soundtrack of a great movie: first he participated in the ost of the film The Hunger Games: Catching Fire from 2013 and then the following year he put a theme for 50 Shades of Grey.
He’s also done music for Game of Thrones, Black Panther, and even American Dad a couple of years ago.
The Weeknd making music for Avatar is still noteworthy given how close he is after Rihanna’s two singles for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
It was understandably surprising, but not unpleasant, that Disney managed to get her to deliver her first music in six years where she wasn’t a guest star on someone else’s track.
While working with big musical stars has always been something Disney does, it seems like it’s been some time since the corporation locked down two big-name artists in a row.
The mix of Avatar The Way of Water and The Weeknd can pay big dividends both in music streaming platforms and in box office receipts.
