James Cameron has been talking about those Avatar sequels for close to a decade, but it now appears as if they're finally going to become a reality. The first movie revolutionised 3D filmmaking and grossed $2.7 billion worldwide making it the biggest movie ever; not even Star Wars: The Force Awakens could top it last year. So, when exactly are the next FOUR Avatar sequels now set to hit the big screen?
Avatar 2 is coming on December 18th, 2020, Avatar 3 follows on December 17th, 2021, Avatar 4 will then come a few years later on December 20th, 2024, and the fifth instalment drops on December 19th 2025. It's likely that James Cameron will shoot these back to back, though this is quite the delay considering the fact that the first of these follow-ups was originally coming to theaters next year!
It's interesting that Fox has taken all these Christmas release dates, especially as Star Wars has held that slot for the past couple of years. Still, if Disney and Lucasfilm are starting to move them to May with Han Solo onwards, the two franchises won't have to go head to head. Are you guys excited?
