James Cameron filmed scenes for the third Avatar movie during the filming of Avatar: The Way of Water. According to producer Jon Landau, filming for the movie was about 95% complete in December 2022. In November 2023, Cameron confirmed that they were in post-production.
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.
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.
Avatar: The Way of Water - How It Should Have Ended
Will Avatar 3 be 9 hours?
"There is no nine-hour rough cut [of Avatar 3]," he said. "I would put a shotgun in my mouth if I ever did a nine-hour rough cut. What I said was it's nine hours of material, meaning Avatar 3, Avatar 4, and Avatar 5. That's three hours of movie."
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.
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.
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.
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.
In January 2023, Cameron confirmed that, with Avatar: The Way of Water being profitable, Avatar 4 and 5 will get made. Landau reported that the action of Avatar 4 will move from Pandora to Earth. Landau said that "There's over-population and a depletion of our natural resources that make life harder.
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.”
It was only when Lo'ak insisted that Neteyam agreed to the rescue. Neteyam risked his life and perished in order to save Lo'ak and Spider from Quaritch. As Jake himself said: "A son for a son". Spider wept for Neteyam as he died as well.
Having been raised by the Omatikaya clan as well as the few humans who stayed on Pandora after the events of the first Avatar film, Spider is Na'vi in everything but his physical form.
In September 2020, Cameron announced that 95% of Avatar 3 had been completed. Filming wrapped in December 2020. In February 2024, Cameron gave the following update on Avatar 3: It's pretty much in the can.
Kiri te Suli Kìreysì'ite is a fourteen-year-old Na'vi, the adopted daughter of Jake Sully and Neytiri, and the biological daughter of Grace Augustine's avatar.
In Cameron's script she's introduced with the descriptor "in human age she would be 18," but that raises as many questions as it answers. As with the math that leads to Jake being 28, Neytiri's birth in the Earth calendar year 2136 and the film's setting in 2154 add up to make her 18, but that's by Earth standards.
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.
Grace was fascinated with how the Na'vi were connected to each other, Pandora, and Eywa. Now, Kiri, who is intrinsically connected to Grace, has a much deeper connection to the Na'vi deity than anyone else. Kiri can hear Eywa in a way no other Na'vi has been able to, not even the spiritual leaders.
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.
