James Cameron has revealed that he fears “Avatar 2” will lose relevance in a decade, 13 years after the original 2009 hit.
Ahead of Avatar 2’s release, famed director James Cameron recently spoke to The New York Times about what it’s like to release a sequel to the highest-grossing film.
Back in 2009, the original “Avatar” grossed nearly $3 billion at the box office, and the studio immediately wanted to capitalize on the hype and get the sequel to theaters as quickly as possible. Cameron insists he doesn’t want to rush into a sequel, but admits that the 13-year wait for the second film after the 2009 hit does worry him.
Cameron told the publication, “I’m a little concerned that in our fast-paced modern world, I’m pulling the shackles too far, and Avatar 2 comes out 12 years later.” However, he explained, when Cameron screened Taking a breath, it was only a relief when he realized that people were still interested, “Until we dropped the trailer, we got 148 million views in 24 hours. There is a rare, but in principle very Weird, it’s like, “Wow, we haven’t seen each other in a long time, but I remember how cool it was back then. “Is it good for us? I don’t know. I think we’ll find out.”
The sequel, “Avatar: The Way of Water,” is set for release on December 16 this year, the third “Avatar” is scheduled for December 2024, and the fourth and fifth will be released two years later than the last.
