The future of the franchise Avatar it’s guaranteed. At least for the next two movies. Thus it has been rebelled to The Hollywood Reporteras part of an exclusive work with James Cameronabout the upcoming premiere of Avatar 2: The Water Sense. This rules out one of the possibilities that was on the table, related to the fact that the success of this second film would be key to the rest of the productions.
The above was proposed, at the time, by James Cameron. The director of the franchise emphasized that, for the development and presentation of the following titles, it was necessary for the sequel to have a relevant commercial success. His argument, not without reason, was that the investment required by this type of production requires a considerable amount of money, which must then be remunerated through collections.
Judging by the current state of the projects, there’s a lot of faith that this second installment will raise enough to sustain the franchise for years to come. Its extension, of three hours, is also presented as a bet of its director and the production in times of streaming video and immediacy. James Cameron is clear: wants to generate a cinematic experience in every way.
The state of the new movies Avataraccording to James Cameron
At the moment, there will be a total of five productions. The first, released in 2009, will be followed by the one released this year. Then, three other films that will arrive during the next few years. According to information from journalist Rebecca Keegan, in the report “Inside James Cameron’s Billion-Dollar Bet on ‘Avatar’“, the status of those projects is as follows:
- avatar 3: recorded. Premiere: December 20, 2024.
- avatar 4: partially filmed. Premiere: December 18, 2026.
- avatar 5: the script is written. Premiere: December 22, 2028.
It is curious that, although they are already filmed productions, there is so much time between them. Perhaps it has to do with giving temporary space in the viewer’s imagination. Giving air to avoid saturating the narrative, as may be happening with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
