The post contained a photo of a soundstage full of industry professionals as Cameron, 65, sat behind an extended camera crane.
"Used my iPhone to snap a picture of our first shot back in production on the 'Avatar' sequels," the producer wrote. The post's location was tagged as Stone Street Studios in New Zealand.
Landau, 73, revealed on May 30 that he and Cameron had arrived in New Zealand and would perform a 14-day quarantine before heading back to the set. He later explained that there was also a quarantine period before the team left Los Angeles, and they were tested for coronavirus multiple times.
Zoe Saldana, one of the franchise's stars, commented on Landau's earlier post.
"God bless you all!!!" she wrote. "Miss you madly!!"
"Avatar," one of the highest-grossing films of all time, is set to have four more sequels, with the next installment hitting theaters in December 2021. Future films are currently set to debut in 2023, 2025 and 2027.
