Plainly, the major reason why Avatar 2 took so long is the long pre-production state, a result of Cameron's commitment to the special effects that set Avatar apart from other films of its time to begin with.
How long did Avatar 2 take to make? Avatar: The Way of Water took 12 years to make, with the sequel not beginning production until August 2017. In 2006, three years before the release of the first movie, Cameron said there'd be sequels if Avatar was a hit.
Why was there so many years between Avatar 1 and 2?
The director began planning the sequels in 2012 and put a writers' room together to help him in 2013. “It just wound up with more story than I bargained for,” he recently told the New York Times. He added that writing the next four movies took four years.
Avatar 3 is scheduled to be released on December 19, 2025, by 20th Century Studios. Like its predecessor, the film was subject to multiple delays (this time it consisted of nine delays) since the crew took more time on the writing, pre-production and visual effects process.
Is there going to be an Avatar 3? James Cameron has confirmed that there will be a third Avatar movie. He shot scenes for Avatar 3 during the filming of Avatar: The Way of Water, and has since completed filming of the franchise's third installment.

Who is Kiris' dad?
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.
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.”
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.
“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 director is currently deep into post-production on “Avatar 3,” which Disney has given a 2025 release date. Cameron has also shot all of the live-action scenes for “Avatar 4” that take place before a time jump in the story. The remainder of the fourth film still needs to be filmed.
Neteyam te Suli Tsyeyk'itan, or Neteyam, is a major character in the Avatar franchise, serving as one of the main characters in Avatar: The Way of Water. He is the 15-year-old eldest son of Jake Sully and Neytiri, who is also the older brother of Lo'ak, Tuktirey, and Kiri.
The fully grown avatar is much closer in appearance to the long-limbed Na'vi than to a human. Typical adult size ranges from nine to ten feet (2.75 to 3.0m) tall with blue skin, bioluminescent markings and large eyes with golden irises.
Lifespan. Although lifespan data is incomplete, it is estimated Na'vi live 30% longer than the average human. Once born, Na'vi children mature more rapidly than humans.
It was previously announced that Avatar 3 would be arriving in December 2024, but James Cameron's latest update has confirmed that the movie is actually slated for Christmas 2025.
According to the report, Avatar 3 was titled Avatar: The Seed Bearer, followed by Avatar: The Tulkun Rider and Avatar: The Quest for Eywa for the subsequent films.
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.
Plot. On April 20, 2010, Cameron said that Avatar 2 will take place in Pandora's oceans and that Avatar 3 will explore more of the Alpha Centauri System.
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.
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.
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).
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.”
