The film's theatrical release has been subject to five delays, with the latest occurring on June 13, 2023; it is scheduled for release on December 21, 2029. A sequel, Avatar 5, is in development and is expected to be released on December 19, 2031.
Summary. Delays in the release of the Avatar sequels were due to the producer's commitment to quality over quantity. Lightstorm, James Cameron's studio, has control over the release schedule and wants to ensure perfection before releasing any merchandise or movies.
“We've completed most of the first act of Avatar 4 and there were logistical reasons why we needed to do that," the producer said. "We've designed most of the whole movie for Avatar 4 but we haven't actually filmed all of it — just the first act.”
The release date was again deferred due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and in August 2020, a new release of December 20, 2024, was announced. Another delay was announced on June 13, 2023, this time due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike, pushing the film to December 19, 2025.
Avatar 4 and 5 are currently set to be released in December 2029 and December 2031. The thing is, James Cameron said that they still have to film most of avatar 4 and none of Avatar 5 has been filmed yet. He said they will begin filming them back to back in 2026.
“Four forthcoming Avatar films, expanding the vibrant world of Pandora, will release on the pre-Christmas weekend every other year beginning in 2021,” Disney says. We're getting the sequel on December 17, 2021; Avatar 3 on December 22, 2023; Avatar 4 on December 19, 2025; and Avatar 5 on December 17, 2027.
Her father is not a father, her father is another mother, Eywa, the Great Mother, the sentient life force of Pandora itself that exists in all things there, but is rarely understood. So essentially yes, Kiri was born from Eywa just like Anakin Skywalker was allegedly conceived by the Force itself and its midichlorians.
James Cameron confirms there was never a nine-hour cut of Avatar 3, as rumors suggested. The director explains that his comments were misconstrued, and that Avatar 3, Avatar 4, and Avatar 5 represent nine hours of material in total, with each movie running about three hours.
Production on Avatar 3 has almost finished, says James Cameron. The director, who's spent the last four years filming Avatar 3 and 4 back to back, says the third one is “pretty much in the can.”
In reality, it would be a further decade before James Cameron's Avatar premiered, and there are several factors behind this extended delay. The primary reason for Avatar's 15-year development is that the technology of the late 1990s simply wasn't good enough to cope with the demands of Cameron's concept.
A fifth and final film has been announced and is scheduled for December 19, 2031. Jon Landau has stated that part of Avatar 5 will take place on Earth, with Neytiri visiting the planet.
The short and easy answer is, No. But, it's important to note that the Avatar franchise has brought dead characters back in the past. The Way of Water brought Quaritch back as a recombinant.
Following the release date shifts, we're now set to get Avatar 4 on December 21, 2029 and Avatar 5 on December 19, 2031. Some filming has already been done on the fourth movie with the younger cast, but there's still shooting to be done. Additionally, the fifth movie hasn't started production at all.
Producer Jon Landau revealed in February 2019 that a third of Avatar 4 had already been filmed. The film's theatrical release has been subject to five delays, with the latest occurring on June 13, 2023; it is scheduled for release on December 21, 2029.
James Cameron's Avatar 4 starts principal photography ahead of the film's eventual worldwide release in December 2029. As fans await the eventual release of the Avatar threequel, filming for Avatar 4 gets underway as the franchise's Colonel Quaritch offers an encouraging behind-the-scenes update.
The character Jake Sully has been the narrator of both the first Avatar (watch it Here) and the sequel Avatar: The Way of Water (read our review Here), but now franchise mastermind James Cameron has revealed that he is losing his narration job as of Avatar 3, which is set to reach theatres on December 20, 2024.
Many cast members from the first two movies are slated to return, including Sam Worthington (Jake Sully), Zoe Saldaña (Neytiri), Sigourney Weaver (Dr. Grace Augustine), Joel David Moore (Norm Spellman), Jack Champion (Javier 'Spider' Socorro), Stephen Lang (Colonel Miles Quaritch) and Britain Dalton (Lo'ak).
What is the plot of Avatar 3? James Cameron has suggested that the third Avatar movie will feature an antagonistic tribe of Na'vi referred to as "The Ash People." These Na'vi are speculated to have ties to fire as opposed to water.
In 2022, Cameron said that about ten minutes of "gunplay action" were cut from the film as he was no longer inclined to "fetishize the gun", although he is known as an "action filmmaker".
Unless that theory is true, Grace was impregnated by someone. Kiri's brothers joke that the scientist Norm could be her father. The movie does not reveal much information about the birth of Kiri. It is unclear whether Kiri was conceived before Grace died and her avatar carried her to term.
Paz Socorro is Spider's mom after a romantic relationship with Quaritch led to her getting pregnant. She gave birth to Spider, whose birth name is Miles (just like his father), in 2154. However, Paz Socorro died shortly after that in combat during Avatar's finale.
She explains that Eywa is so close to her that she can hear Eywa's breath and heartbeat. Compared to her siblings, Kiri adapted much more quickly to the free-diving lifestyle of the Metkayina and experiences little to no trouble staying underwater for long periods of time despite a lack of training.
