After the blockbuster hit Avatar: The Way Of Water, filmmaker James Cameron announced that its next episode is in the works now and, also confirmed to work on more films in the franchise which include Avatar 4 and 5.
Avatar: The Way of Water is absolutely owning the box office as the film has collected $1.547 billion worldwide. This means that it has officially surpassed Top Gun: Maverick’s $1.48 billion and is now the highest-grossing film of 2022. Celebrating this achievement, Cameron gave an optimistic update about the upcoming Avatar 3, 4, and 5.
Speaking at a Talk show recently, the Titanic maker asserted that not only threequel is happening soon, but he has also written two more parts after that.
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Cameron said,
It looks like just with the momentum that the film has now that will easily pass our break even in the next few days, so it looks like I can’t wiggle out of this, I’m gonna have to do these other sequels.
Cameron further added, “I know what I’m going to be doing the next six or seven years. The point is we’re going to be okay. I’m sure that we’ll have a discussion soon with the top folks at Disney about the game plan going forward for ‘Avatar 3’, which is already in the can – we’ve already captured and photographed the whole film so we’re in extended post-production to do all that CG magic.”
James concluded with, “And then ‘Avatar 4’ and ‘5’ are both written. We even have some of ‘4’ in the can. We’ve begun a franchise at this point. We’ve begun a saga that can now play out over multiple films.”
It is pertinent to mention that, the original ‘Avatar’ movie remains the highest-grossing film in history with its $2.97 billion worldwide collection.
Seems he will be making a part for each different type of landscapes, what’s next, snow or desert navi?
