“I feel that with the success the film is currently enjoying, it is likely to turn a profit in the coming days. So I won’t be able to stop him. I’ll have to do other sequels,” he said on HBO Max’s “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?”

“I know what I will do in the next six to seven years. I say everything will be fine. We’ll be talking to Disney experts soon about Avatar 3, which is already in production. We are even in the post-production stage, and Avatar 4 and 5 have already been written, and part 4 has been shot,” said the director.

“I opened a franchise. We started a saga that will be told in several films,” adds James Cameron. The director has already announced that the third part, scheduled for 2025, will explore the new fire tribe Naavi – “people of ash”.

Last month, James Cameron joked that “The Way of Water” would need to collect at least $2 billion at the box office to cover costs. The first film “Avatar” brought record revenues of 2.9 billion dollars.

“Avatar: The Path of Water” takes place more than ten years after the events of the first film. When Colonel Miles Quaritch returns to Pandora, Jake Sully, his wife Neytiri, and their four children are forced to leave the forest for the reefs where the Metkains live, who greet them with distrust.
