Why So Many People Are Seeing Minions: The Rise Of Gru Wearing Suits MaverickWhat is going to stop it? The rest? 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."
