In December 2022, shortly after Avatar: The Way of Water was released, it was stated that James Cameron's first cut of Avatar 3 had a running time of nine hours. Cameron later clarified that the nine hours of material referred to Avatar 3, Avatar 4 and Avatar 5 being each three-hour films for a total of nine hours.
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.
According to the director, 'Avatar 3' has only two percent or three percent of scenes left in the studio and that they barely have to shoot live-action scenes, as most of them have already been filmed.
The franchise's third installment is expected to hit theaters in 2025, with Avatar 4 following in 2029 and Avatar 5 in 2031, and that may not be the end of the story. While talking to PEOPLE in February 2024, Cameron said that he already has ideas for even more films in the franchise.
In a December 2022 interview with Collider, producer Jon Landau revealed that the team has already shot "95%" of Avatar 3 and parts of Avatar 4. Still, Cameron pointed out that he's still making changes to the third movie in a January 2023 interview on the Soundtracking with Edith Bowman podcast.
Cameron has the rest of “Avatar 4” and the entirety of “Avatar 5” left to shoot. The third movie was originally going to arrive in 2024, but Disney delayed the franchise and scheduled “Avatar 3” for a Dec. 19, 2025, opening.
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.
Avatar 3 release date: When will Avatar 3 be released in cinemas? Avatar 3 was originally set to be released in cinemas on December 20, 2024, but as mentioned above, it's been delayed a year to December 19, 2025. It was shot at the same time as The Way of Water, which means filming has been completed on Avatar 3.
Cameron said “Avatar 3” will explore “different cultures from those I have already shown. The fire will be represented by the 'Ash People. ' I want to show the Na'vi from another angle because, so far, I have only shown their good sides.”
Cameron later clarified that the nine hours of material referred to Avatar 3, Avatar 4 and Avatar 5 being each three-hour films for a total of nine hours. He revealed in an interview with 20 minutes that the film would feature new Na'vi people, called the 'Ash people', who will be the antagonists of the film.
Like his father, the teenage Lo'ak starts out as the reckless misfit who steps into a brave role for his family. Lo'ak is old enough in Pandora to be a warrior and seems to be about 13 or 14 years old in Avatar: The Way of the Water given the time gap between Avatar and its sequel.
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.
The war between humanity and the Na'vi will have a bigger scale than previous film that happened in a big ship. This has led to speculation that Bridgehead will be the site of a major battle. James Cameron has hinted that the story will be focused on Lo'ak; Lo'ak has been confirmed as the film's narrator.
Daniel Andersson and Erika Magnusson's experimental Swedish film Logistics answered both questions when it came out in 2012. Logistics is the longest movie of all time, taking a whopping 35 days to end.
But, the question still remains: Will Neteyam return to Avatar 3? 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.
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.
Avatar 3 is shaping up to be wild, with a 6 year time jump – and Kate Winslet going to shaman school for her role. James Cameron has shared some new updates about Avatar 3 – and the film sounds wild in the best possible way. Speaking to People, Cameron revealed that the threequel would feature a major time skip.
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.
Augustine's colleague Norm Spellman (Joel David Moore) was the father and Grace conceived Kiri before the end of Avatar before somehow giving birth in her Avatar body. However, the more interesting theory is that Kiri is literally the child of Eywa due to some sort of immaculate conception.
In December 2022, Cameron revealed that he has plans for a potential sixth and seventh film and would make them if there was demand. In February 2024, Cameron reiterated his plans for the sixth and seventh film and admitted that he would probably pass the baton off to another director.
Cameron has been working in New Zealand since 2005, when the first “Avatar” movie started development. “We're into a very hectic two years of post-production right now,” Cameron confirmed when asked about the third “Avatar” movie. “So it will be Christmas of 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.
