Na’vi’s world could be available on the small screen. In an interview with the American Magazine magazine, director James Cameron trusted his desire to develop his saga Avatar In the animated version in the form of a series and a movie. An idea that reveals that it has already approached with Disney.

“I said: ‘Listen, I want to make an anthology animation series that takes place essentially in this universe, but with stories that we would not expect,” said the filmmaker.

“There could even be an animated film, which could be broadcast on the transmission or exit inside,” he continues.

To justify his desire, James Cameron took as an example other cult franchises that have been rejected in the form of animated series, such as Matrix and The animatrix. “All these are excellent examples that show how we can add texture and details to the Avatar Universe,” he said.

According to the filmmaker, these projects could explore “the history of the characters and secondary events that took place outside the camera in the movies.” “Who was the first to land in Pandora? The first expedition. You can go wherever you want,” he said.

“Avatar” 4 and 5 already in development

While the third part ofAvatar – whose trailer was presented this Monday, July 28, will be released on theaters on December 17, 2025, a quarter of the saga is already filming, scheduled for 2029, while a fifth part is expected in 2031.
