10 Unanswered Questions From 2022's Biggest Movies
Will Jane Foster find a way back from Valhalla?
After two years of movie releases hobbled by the pandemic, 2022 started to feel back to business as "normal" for Hollywood, with the past 12 months delivering a healthy slate of both big-budget tentpoles and more modest "arthouse" fare.
And like any great year of movies, 2022 left film fans with a lot to chew over and think about, with the year's biggest films leaving dangling narrative threads and agonisingly unanswered questions.
Nothing keeps a movie alive in the public consciousness like an ongoing mystery, and that these 10 films all certainly had, given that audiences walked away with at least one major burning question.
In some cases the unanswered question is an absolutely vital piece of the narrative puzzle that'll most definitely be solved in a future sequel, while in others it's almost certain the filmmakers will never directly address it, leaving viewers to form their own conclusion forever more.
Either way, millions of viewers are dying to know the answers to these lingering questions from 2022's biggest films, from Marvel blockbusters to a certain entry into an iconic horror franchise, and also one of the year's biggest streaming hits...
10. Where Did The Metkayina Go During The Final Battle? - Avatar: The Way Of Water
There were a couple of nagging questions left hanging at the end of Avatar: The Way of Water, and while we'll surely learn about Kiri's (Sigourney Weaver) father in a future film, we probably won't find out where the Metkayina clan went during the final battle.
The unforgettable finale sees the Sullys taking on Quaritch (Stephen Lang) on the sinking, burning remnants of the whaling vessel commandeered by the RDA, and though the Metkayina helped Jake fight the RDA earlier on, they're nowhere to be seen once night falls.
It's a sudden and jarring absence that the film never bothers to explain, presumably because James Cameron wanted to stage a more intimate final showdown and simply hoped that audiences would be so enthralled as to not notice the sudden disappearance of the Metkayina.
If you want to be charitable to Cameron, you can say that the Metkayina felt their job was done once they wrecked the initial whaling fleet and saw that Tsireya (Bailey Bass) was safe.
