I can see it happening, just off nostalgia glasses from Avatar.
That said, as someone who never saw the first one (but heard lots about it), viewing the trailer for 2 does nothing to make me want to see it. In fact, I'm pretty sure I can predict the entire plot just from the trailer:
Movie opens with Jake and his new daughter (at least, that's who I'm assuming the kid-alien in the trailer is) living a happy, peaceful life In Harmony With Nature(tm). Evil humans return to Pandora still desperate for resources, only they invade in an aquatic/island area. Jake wants to fight them off again, but his local tribe refuses, saying "It's not our problem". Jake defiantly goes to new area with a few of the local tribe (The Reisistance(tm)) who agreed with him. There they meet Other Alien Tribe, who are hesitant at first but accepts the help eventually. Battle with the Evil Humans is difficult and expensive, but is ultimately won when Jake's daughter manages to summon some giant fish-monster to destroy the Evil Human's command ship.
Honestly, not sure if you're joking or not on that one. On the one hand, it wouldn't surprise me at all, but I've looked up nothing about it except the trailer so don't know if there has been mention about who the Big Bad is. (All that's seen about them in the trailer is some big boats, some murder robots and a bunch of scenes of Peaceful Native Villages(tm) on fire)
Honestly, for me, one of the few redeeming things about the first one, at least when watching at the cinema, was the aerial battle scenes, some of the ground battles, and the chase scenes…
Watching the human ships get blown up was badass, and made up for any storytelling… Holes. Much like the Star Wars prequels.
And I normally hate, or at least dislike, most “action” movies, lol…
So yeah, without those specifics, and in a very different cultural era to when the first one was released, this whole thing just doesn’t appeal to me, quite honestly…

And isn't the villain the previous villain's twin brother?
