James Cameron may be leaving the directorship of Avatar 4 and Avatar 5 sequels.
In a recent interview with Empire, the filmmaker called the series an “all-rounder” and revealed that he would like to focus on other projects eventually. “I’ve got some other exciting stuff in the works. I think eventually over time – I don’t know if it’s after three or four – I’ll want to hand the baton to a director I trust. Take over so I can do something else, I’m also interested. Maybe not. I don’t know,” Cameron explained.
However, his decision to step down as director is still a long way off and he remains excited about the upcoming sequel to Avatar: Way of the Water, which takes place more than 10 years after the first film and will follow the story of the Sully family.” Everything I need to say about family, about sustainability, about climate, about the natural world, topics that are important to me in real life and in film life, I can say it on this canvas,” Cameron said. shared. “I’m getting more and more excited as I go. Movie four is a cork. It’s a bastard. I really hope I make it. But it depends on market forces. Three is in a jar, so it’s going to come out anyway. I really hope We were able to make four and five because it ended up being a big story.”
“Avatar: The Way of Water” will be released on December 16.
