1905 Movie Network News Although "Avatar 3" has not yet been released, the creator of the film, James Cameron, already has ideas for a sequel. This sequel is not "Avatar 4 and 5" in the traditional sense, but the more distant "Avatar 6 and 7". Cameron hopes he can take Avatar a step further and draw inspiration from Star Wars and Star Trek.
Although we won't see Avatar 5 until at least 2031, Cameron seems to have set his sights further into the future. In an interview with People magazine at the 51st Saturn Awards last weekend, he said that he already has the idea for "Avatar 6" and "Avatar 7" in his mind. Although he has the idea, Cameron will not personally direct and shoot these two films. Due to age and energy limitations, he was unable to direct such an ambitious film. Cameron said that when you conceive of a complete universe, you can't help but think of new stories. Cameron admits that despite the story, he may not end up directing it himself: We've finished the scripts for the first five movies and I have ideas for a sixth and seventh, although I'll probably hand over the rights by then stick. I mean, death is going to come. But, we love what we do. We enjoyed it. We have the opportunity to work with great people.
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. The current release dates for several subsequent "Avatar" movies are: "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".
