But wait! There is more…
In June, Disney announced that Cameron’s next film Avatar The sequels were being shelved once again, extending the franchise until 2031. After acquiring the franchise through its merger with Fox, the studio initially intended to reveal James Cameron’s next film. Avatar sequels with a two-year interval between each release, aiming for the third installment for 2024.
However, the revised schedule now sets the premiere of Avatar 3 on December 19, 2025, followed by Avatar 4 on December 21, 2029, and Avatar 5 on December 19, 2031. This timeline means that the last Avatar The film will grace screens 22 years after the original groundbreaking blockbuster hit theaters in 2009.
The filmmaker has also hinted at introducing a more antagonistic race of Na’vi in Avatar 3. According to franchise producer Jon Landau’s revelation to Empire Magazine earlier this year, this new group is known as the Ash People, characterized as an “aggressive, volcanic race” of Na’vi. The publication describes them as a formidable presence, with their leader Varang played by the talented Oona Chaplin, a notable figure of game of Thrones and granddaughter of Charlie Chaplin.
During the recent New Zealand Press conferenceCameron reiterated that all remaining Avatar films, as well as any other projects he intends to direct, will be shot exclusively in the country.
“It brings a lot to the economy here, it brings a lot of cultural prestige to the country and it is an opportunity for many young people to feel empowered on the world stage. We can do it here,” Cameron said.
