Bonus: Avatar Sequels
For the millions of fans of the most successful film in the box office, Disney has great news: The world of Avatar will return in 3 new movies. And, although we still don’t have images or trailers from them, we can share with you some fundamental details.
More than a decade after the premiere of the first film, the wait for an Avatar sequel will soon come to an end in 2021. But its creator, James Cameron, has a much more ambitious plan now, and it includes 3 sequels. Yes, Avatar 3, 4 and 5, and Disney has also just announced the release date of each of them.
In an interview with the Empire podcast, Cameron said: “Having gone through the experience (with Sam Worthington) on Avatar, I now knew how to write the Jake character going forward across the emotional rollercoaster of the next 4 movies.”
He also added: “It’s been tough on him. He’s done 2 pictures back to back now, because we did 2 and 3 together. He had to go to some dark places.”
Finally, here are the release dates of the next 4 sequels of James Cameron’s award-winning production. It’s true, there’s still a long way to go before we see them, but being aware of the mastermind of their creator, there’s no doubt the wait will be worth it.
