Last week, critics have been in a position to expertise James Cameron’s “Avatar: The Way of Water,” and lots of of them raved. Cameron spent over a decade placing the movie collectively, together with growing three different installments all on the similar time. Due to the distinctive and elaborate improvement of the a number of “Avatar” sequels, Cameron has a good suggestion of the place they’re heading and is already sharing some tidbits about two of them.
While talking with Fandom (see beneath), the filmmaker teased what followers can count on from “Avatar 5,” and that will see the motion leaving Pandora and shifting to Earth. Our planet is a location that was solely briefly explored within the authentic film earlier than audiences have been transported to Pandora, the plush alien planet that people operating the Resources Development Administration (RDA) determined to colonize and stip for valuable sources.
“I will say that in one of the upcoming films, not [‘Avatar 3’], by [‘Avatar 5’] you’ll see action on Earth…Because don’t we want to juxtapose this incredible world in its prime with Earth a couple of hundred years from now that is the result of us if we don’t change.

In the unique movie from 2009 and the prolonged reduce, we received a glimpse of Earth the place Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) is just depressing losing his time in bars earlier than being recruited by RDA to take his brother’s place within the Avatar program after he dies in a mugging. In Cameron’s futuristic Earth, the planet is experiencing overpopulation, and many voters put on breathers as humanity is letting all the things dwindle and die. What Cameron’s “action” feedback imply is just not fully clear, however seeing the Pandorians take the combat to Earth wouldn’t be all that stunning because the stakes and scale will probably should proceed to extend between the sequels. All the combating has been relegated to Pandora, nevertheless it feels like that might change for the “final” installment if Cameron ever will get there (although he has teased two sequels after that, although it might be wishful pondering).
Cameron can also be hyping up the script for “Avatar 4.” During a chat with Collider, the filmmaker mentioned the studio executives have been blown away by the work by screenwriter Shane Salerno and didn’t give any notes, merely including “holy f***.”
“I can’t tell you the details, but all I can say is that when I turned in the script for [‘The Way of Water’], the studio gave me three pages of notes,” Cameron informed Collider. “And when I turned in the script for 3, they gave me a page of notes, so I was getting better. When I turned in the script for 4, the studio executive, the creative executive over the films, wrote me an email that said, ‘Holy fuck.’ And I said, ‘Well, where are the notes?’ And she said, ‘Those are the notes.’ Because it kind of goes nuts in a good way, right?”
It’s thrilling to listen to how tickled Cameron is together with his different “Avatar” installments he nonetheless has to finish capturing. With “Avatar: The Way of Water” hitting screens on December 16, the demand for extra Pandora is probably going going to develop as soon as audiences get their eyeballs on the primary sequel, and the director has already teased plans for “Avatar 6” and “Avatar 7” if the studio needs them.
