This weekend: Thor  Peter (og Danielle): James Cameron Says He May Not Direct Avatar 4 And 5 HimselfAvatar: The Way of Water comes out later this year Avatar 3 for Christmas 2023 Avatar 4 for Christmas 2026 Avatar 5 Christmas 2028 "The Avatar films themselves are kind of all-consuming. I've got some other things I'm developing as well that are exciting. I think eventually over time — I don't know if that's after three or after four — I'll want to pass the baton to a director that I trust to take over, so I can go do some other stuff that I'm also interested in. Or maybe not. I don't know." "I got more excited as I went along. Movie four is a corker. It's a mother****er. I actually hope I get to make it. But it depends on market forces. Three is in the can so it's coming out regardless. I really hope that we get to make four and five because it's one big story, ultimately." Valerie: Even James Cameron Has Doubts About Avatar: The Way Of Water's Box Office Potential "We've gotten into a little bit of an outer orbit and we've got to re-establish ourselves," Cameron admits. "The trolls will have it that nobody gives a s*** and they can't remember the characters' names or one damn thing that happened in the movie ... Then they see the movie again and go, 'Oh okay, excuse me, let me just shut the f*** up right now.' So I'm not worried about that." Avatar 1 made $2.83 billon  Avatar: The Way of Water has a $250 million budget (after marketing $400-450m) Also mentioned:      All the other stuff you need to know: You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.  You can subscribe to /Film Daily on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS).  Send your feedback, questions, comments and concerns to us at peter@slashfilm.com.

I just wanna let you know that if you watch the second episode of Ms Marvel , at the fair where Nakia hands out voting flyers, the one who takes a selfie from the Mosque Bros is Bilall Fallah, one of the directors. Maybe you noticed him, but if not: you're welcome! Mark from Brisbane, Australia: We have a Pizza Hut buffet in Browns Plains, Brisbane. It’s a low socio economic area so it’s still running but I’m pretty sure it’s the only one in Brisbane if not Australia. We went about 3 years ago and it is not like when you where a kid lol.
