1905 Movie Network News As "Avatar 3" entered the post-production stage at the end of last year, "Avatar 4" also started filming smoothly. Recently, Stephen Lang, the star of the "Avatar" series, posted photos from the set, indicating that "Avatar 4" has successfully started filming.
In the set photos, Stephen Lang did not show his face, but only showed himself wearing costumes and equipped with parts of motion capture equipment. According to the plan, the post-production of "Avatar 3" will take two years and will be released in the Christmas season of 2025. The release schedule for the subsequent "Avatar" films is "Avatar 3" on December 20, 2024, "Avatar 4" on December 18, 2026, and "Avatar 5" on December 22, 2028. Now these films have been postponed. "Avatar 3" on December 19, 2025, "Avatar 4" on December 21, 2029, and "Avatar 5" on December 19, 2031. In other words, the producers have arranged an 8-year release plan for "Avatar".
Previously, according to foreign media reports, the total budget of the four sequels from "Avatar 2" to "Avatar 5" will exceed US$1 billion, with the average cost of a film exceeding US$250 million. This number seems quite scary, but in fact, Hollywood has increased the cost of large-scale movies to more than 200 million US dollars in recent years. It is not surprising that the sequel to "Avatar", which has high technologies such as motion capture and naked-eye 3D, will cost $250 million. Moreover, "Avatar" alone earned US$2.7 billion in global box office that year, which also gave Fox Film Company considerable confidence.
