When asked about the various delays in the sequels' release schedule, the producer explained that it stemmed from the desire to ensure "quality, quality, quality" over quantity and that his and Cameron's studio Lightstorm have retained the rights to releasing when they want.
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 3 is scheduled to be released in theaters on December 19, 2025. The third film was initially supposed to arrive on December 20, 2024. On June 13, 2023, Disney pushed Avatar 3's release date to the end of 2025.
“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.
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.
The release date was again deferred due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and in August 2020, a new release of December 18, 2026 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 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.
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 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.
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.
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.”
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.
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.
We didn't spend as much time on relationship and emotion in the first film as we do in the second film, and it's a longer film, because there's more characters to service. There's more story to service." "People say, 'Oh my god, a family story from Disney? Just what we want,'" Cameron continued.
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.
Given that Avatar 3 was filmed at the same time as the sequel, we already know some confirmed returns for the next movie led by Sam Worthington as Jake Sully and Zoe Saldaña as Neytiri. "It's bigger than you can imagine," Worthington told People in January 2024.
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.
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.
James Cameron debunks the rumors of a 9-hour cut for Avatar 3, clarifies it's actually 3 hours per movie for Avatar 3, 4, and 5. Avatar 3 set to release on December 19, 2025, continues Na'vi-human storyline. Cameron already working on Avatar 4, possibly up to Avatar 7.
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.
