James Cameron Will Direct ‘Avatar 4’ and ‘5’

James Cameron is “good to go” when it comes to directing Avatar 4 and Avatar 5.

The veteran filmmaker, who is 70 years old, is directing the third installment of the epic science fiction series titled “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” set for release in December. He intends to continue as director for the next two films scheduled to premiere in cinemas in 2029 and 2031.

To Empire, Cameron stated: ” frankly, there’s no reason why not. I’m in good health and ready to go. I haven’t ruled it out. To continue for another six or seven years requires a lot of energy and vigor. You understand what I mean? I may not be able to sustain that… but if I can, I’ll simply carry on.

In the past, the director of the movie “Titanic” has handed over his planned films to other filmmakers, such as giving the 2019 film “Alita: Battle Angel” to Robert Rodriguez, while still maintaining a close connection with the film’s production process.

Cameron said of Rodriguez: “He honored what I had written. We worked very collaboratively.”

The renowned director has shared before that he will not be directing the sixth and seventh Avatar movies, despite having ideas for those stories already.

He shared with everyone: “We’ve completed drafting movie five, and I have concepts for six and seven. However, I expect to pass the responsibility onto someone else around that time.

Time eventually overtakes us, but let me tell you, we’re truly savoring our experiences. We’re deeply engrossed and delighted by our work. We’re fortunate to collaborate with exceptional individuals.

Earlier this year, Cameron shared that he’s quite optimistic about the upcoming film titled “Avatar: Fire and Ash”, as he received overwhelmingly positive reactions during private screenings he held for a small group of individuals.

In a conversation with Stuff, The Terminator’s director expressed: “I’ve shared it with a handful of individuals, and their responses have been very positive – it’s quite emotional, and it might even surpass the previous two in quality. Time will tell, but I’m confident about its potential.

Initially, the first “Avatar” movie broke box office records in 2009, making it the highest-earning film ever. Later on, James Cameron expressed apprehension about creating sequels because he wanted to preserve the unique accomplishment that the original film represented.

The director pondered deeply about the prospect of creating another “Avatar” movie, as it seemed like a risky endeavor, almost as if we were on the verge of losing it.

After achieving such extraordinary success with something, wouldn’t you hesitate to attempt it again, given the immense pressure involved? It took me around two years of contemplation before we were able to seal the deal.
