In an interview with Games Radar, James Cameron explained why Avatar 2 is so long, while also revealing that the film will take longer to explore the massive cast. Although James Cameron did not spoil the story of "Avatar 2", the director said that compared to the first film, "Avatar 2" will focus more on the creation of characters, and both returning actors and new actors will need more time for proper shaping.
In this regard, Kashen said: "Our goal is to tell a compelling story on the basis of emotion. I would say that the focus of this new film is more on the characters, more on the story, more on the story. It's more of a relationship and more of an emotion. We didn't spend as much time emotionally and emotionally in the first part as we did in the second, and it's longer because there are more characters to serve. There are more stories to serve."
One thing that many people miss about James Cameron is that he is a very good storyteller. As mentioned earlier, the first "Avatar" James Cameron showed off a sense of technology in the movie. But in the upcoming sequel, he will apparently show off his storytelling abilities.
It is worth mentioning that due to the length of Avatar 2, many viewers are hesitant to sit in the theater for about 3 hours. James Cameron has long been a champion of theatrical viewing. Although streaming is very popular these days, James Cameron has always insisted that the theater is the best way to watch movies. Streaming isn't really suitable for Avatar 2, though, especially given the film's special effects. You really need to go to the cinema to watch it.
Despite Avatar 2's lengthy movie run and deep exploration of its cast, there's still a lot of pressure on Avatar 2 about the franchise's potential future. Although "Avatar" has three sequels tentatively scheduled to be released, we don't know whether the box office of this sequel film can match the first film. In any case, Kashen said that if "Avatar 2" fails miserably at the box office, then we will only see the "Avatar" trilogy and not five movies. Although I think that with the ability of Kashen, "Avatar 2" will definitely be able to reap a lot of box office.
