James Cameron suggests that Avatar 4 and 5 are not guaranteed; Reveals Fire and Ash’s Mammoth Runtime
Avatar: fire and ash takes place in the rooms in December and will be almost certainly a blow at the box office. Even at a time when it is more difficult than ever for Hollywood blockbusters to exceed $ 1 billion worldwide, $ 2 billion seem a safe bet for the Three of James Cameron.
2009 Avatar owned a 162 -minute execution mammoth with Avatar: Water path Shepherd in a long minute in 2022. This did not have too much negative impact on box office recipes for one or the other film, and the director has now confirmed that Avatar: fire and ash will be the same long, with a planned execution time of three hours.
Speaking to Variety (via Sffgazette.com), Cameron explained that he had returned and added scenes to the Jake film bringing together with his Toruk of the first film. It ended up having an impact on the duration of the film.
“”[The Toruk] did not exist in “fire and ashes”. And I went: “Oh, he must go get the bird.” Come on! I saved him for a subsequent film. I said to myself, ‘f ** k that! He should have the bird. Get the Toruk, ‘” The filmmaker shared. “There is something in Jake’s fate that requires it, right?”
“So I just rewritten it, and we came back and we drew two or three scenes around this concept, and I threw stuff and I stayed that. And we are at three o’clock, big surprise!” He added. “But it works wonderfully, and the actors were super excited in this idea. It’s like, Oh, okay, it feels good, you know? So, it’s not in stone. It is a constantly evolving creative process. And that’s what keeps you vigorous and committed.”
It was probably a relatively easy process for Cameron because Avatar: Water path And Avatar: fire and ash were filmed consecutive. A fourth film is dated December 21, 2029, with the fifth and “Final” taking place for December 19, 2031.
However, if the Terminator And Alien The director must believe, then none of the two films is guaranteed. “The big swing in all of this is, do we make money with Avatar 3? I mean, we will earn money. But the question is what type of beneficiary margin, if necessary, is there, and how much incitement is it continuing in this universe? Or perhaps we are waiting for a certain time until we discover how to reduce costs.”
“Because production costs have made a spiral in recent years, especially in VFX. Everything has increased huge, and it is starting to close the type of film that I like to make.”
“So there is an argument to take a break and understand this,” He continued. “There is an argument to release and make a smaller and more personal film while waiting, while this is understood. There is an argument, in a wild success, for us, we launch and go directly to [Avatar 4 and 5] And I find a production methodology where I have a little break where I can make another film. “”
Breaking these films more is the fact that Cameron considers this third episode as a conclusion. Although there are more history to tell, it looks like Avatar 4 Will have a time jump that gives the impression of being a very different film.
Based on the past comments of Cameron, we can assume that the plan is that the children of the film are described as adults in the next chapters of the franchise.
“Two and three really tell a big story,” he said. “And then finally, if I am so lucky and I make four and five, four and five tell a big story. So it stops for a beat after the end of three. I don’t want to say that we will necessarily stop in production, but the story stops, then it jumps a little in time.”
With Avatar: fire and ashCameron brings the public to Pandora in a new immersive adventure with Marine who became Na’vi Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), Na’vi Warrior Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) and the Sully family.
The third episode of success Avatar The franchise opens exclusively in theaters around the world in IMAX 3D, Dolby Cinema 3D, Reald 3D, Cinemark XD, 4DX, Screenx and Premium Screens everywhere on December 19, 2025.
