Famous director James Cameron has shared a big update about the future of the Avatar movie series. He said he is ready to reveal the full stories of “Avatar 4” and “Avatar 5” if the franchise ends earlier than planned.
Cameron explained this in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. He said the future of the Avatar series depends on how well Sci-fi “Avatar: Fire and Ash” performs at the box office. This movie is the third film in the Avatar franchise and is now playing in theatres.
The director was very honest. He said if the studio decides not to make Avatar 4 and Avatar 5, he will hold a press conference. During that event, he will tell fans exactly what the remaining story was going to be. Cameron said he does not want the ideas to stay hidden forever.
He also shared another option. If the movies are cancelled, he may turn the scripts into novels. He said the Avatar world has deep culture, history, and characters, and he would love to share that detail with fans in another way.
In a separate interview with Variety, Cameron explained that movie studios must prove success every time. He said the movie business has changed, and theatres have had a tough year. Still, he noted that some recent films have done well, giving hope to the industry.
Right now, things look positive for “Avatar: Fire and Ash.” The movie has already crossed $500 million worldwide in just one week. Experts believe it will continue to perform strongly in the coming months. The first two Avatar movies both earned over $2 billion worldwide, setting very high expectations.
Earlier, producer Jon Landau revealed that Avatar 5 would take the Na’vi characters to Earth, showing the planet through their eyes.
Cameron has also talked about whether he will direct the next films himself. While he once considered passing the job to another director, he recently said he is healthy and ready. If possible, he wants to continue directing the series.
For now, fans can relax. The Avatar story is still alive, and its future looks strong and exciting.
