In 2009, the world was blown away by the all-time worldwide box office champion ‘Avatar’ and the Pandora world that was created by none other than legendary director James Cameron. Now, almost 8 years after the release of its initial movie, Cameron has announced 4 sequels to the franchise, with the initial sequel, set to hit theatres in 2018.
When speaking with Variety’s Brent Lang, Cameron discussed his plans for the next 4 saga’s to the franchise he’s looking to add:
“So far, what I am seeing in pure imagination is far beyond the first film,” Cameron said. He said that very few people have seen the initial concepts, but a select few have been left “speechless” by what they saw.
“We have decided to embark on a truly massive cinematic project, making four epic films, each of which stands alone but together forms a complete saga,” Cameron said.The other three films will be released at Christmas-time in 2020, 2022 and 2023. “That is our game plan,” Cameron said.
“The next time I see you will be on Pandora,” Cameron told the theater owners, referring to the mythical land he created with “Avatar.”
This leaves a lot to be excited about if you were a fan of the first movie that introduced to us the world of Pandora. There hasn’t been any indication as to if any cast members will be returning for the sequels or if they will be separate stories that use various different actors to make one grand cinematic saga. Whatever does happen, we know the franchise is in good hands with James Cameron.
