Originally slated for release in 2015, Avatar: The way of water suffered one delay after another In subsequent years. The situations that led to this long wait will go through the surprise addition of the fifth installment in 2016, the Disney / Fox merger in 2017 and, of course, the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

The Ascension of the Planet of the Apes veterans Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver e ArmageddonShane Salerno will also work closely with Cameron on other sequels, which will introduce “entirely new worlds, habitats and cultures”. This could very well mean that we will encounter new types of intelligent alien species.
While the Avatar The sequels were written as an ever-expanding big beast and largely shot together. We are told that each of the upcoming films will be created as a standalone film, rather than being four parts of a larger story. talking about TorukCircus of the Sun Avatar prequel, Cameron spilled the beans on an important topic for upcoming movies: family:
