Avatar returns to cinemas this September.

Disney announced on Wednesday that James Cameron's Academy Award-winning 2009 epic adventure Avatar, the most successful film of all time, returns to theatres on 23 September in 4K High Dynamic Range.

Cameron shared the new poster on Twitter: "We remastered the movie and decided it deserved a new poster."

Written and directed by the Academy Award winner Avatar stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez and Sigourney Weaver. Cameron and Jon Landau produced the film. Nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, the film won three Oscars for Best Cinematography, Production Design and Visual Effects.

In April, the studio unveiled the first teaser and the title for the long-delayed sequel at CinemaCon. At the annual convention, Cameron said they "set out once again to push the limits of what cinema can do".

Disney distribution chief Tony Chambers said Avatar: The Way of Water is well worth the wait.

The film, which will be released in cinemas on 16 December, is the first of four planned sequels.
