<h2>What is the Avatar franchise all about?</h2>

The Avatar movies, directed by James Cameron, take place in a futuristic science fiction universe. The story is set on the distant planet of Pandora, a lush and vibrant world inhabited by the indigenous humanoid species called the Na'vi. The films follow the adventures of humans who have developed the ability to remotely control genetically engineered Na'vi bodies, known as avatars, through a neural link. The main conflict revolves around the clash between the human military-industrial complex and the Na'vi, who live in harmony with their environment and possess a deep spiritual connection to nature. The humans seek to exploit Pandora's resources, particularly a rare mineral called unobtainium, while the Na'vi fight to protect their homeland and way of life.

<h2>Avatar: The Way of Water</h2>

The second movie in the series, Avatar: The Way of Water, premiered in theatres last December, a remarkable 13 years after the original film became the highest-grossing movie of all time. Despite doubts about its success, the sequel proved to be a hit, earning $2.3 billion worldwide.

WION's review of the film read, "Basically, I have the same complaints with ‘The Way of Water’ that I had with the original Avatar. No one in their right mind would take exception to his vision, but beneath all that eye candy, the film has a painfully conventional story involving conventional characters told in a traditional Cameron way. The director has never been an impressive deviser of complex, gripping plots and characters beyond the surface level. He does have the uncanny ability to build exciting narratives around action set pieces, and 'The Way of Water' is no exception. 'The Way of Water' is, in effect, a typical Cameron movie with all its glories and downfalls."

<h2>The original plan for Avatar sequels</h2>

Originally, Disney planned to release Cameron's additional sequels with a two-year gap between each installment, culminating in the third film arriving in 2024. However, the release dates have been adjusted, with Avatar 3 now set for December 19, 2025, Avatar 4&nbsp;for December 21, 2029,&nbsp;and Avatar 5 for December 19, 2031. This means that the final film will come 22 years after the original blockbuster.

Cameron has teased that Avatar 3 will introduce a more antagonistic race of Na'vi known as the Ash People. The fourth and fifth films will feature a significant time jump and partially take place on Earth.

Zoe Saldana reacts to Avatar sequel delays: 'I'll be 53 when the last one comes out'

James Cameron, director of some of the biggest blockbusters the world has ever seen like 'Titanic' and 'Avatar', has again said something about superhero movies that fans of those are not going to like. Cameron, whose 'Avatar' sequel, titled 'Avatar: The Way of Water', released in December, has earlier piqued superhero movie fans too. In a new interview for the New York Times, Cameron was saying since 'The Way of Water' is set 15 years after the original, Jake and Neytiri, the main characters played by Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana, have matured/&nbsp;But, he said, he does not see such maturity in characters in Marvel and DC movies.

He said, "Zoe and Sam now play parents, 15 years later. In the first movie, Sam’s character leaps off his flying creature and essentially changes the course of history as a result of this crazy, almost suicidal leap of faith. And Zoe’s character leaps off a limb and assumes there’s going to be some nice big leaves down there that can cushion her fall. But when you’re a parent, you don’t think that way. So for me, as a parent of five kids, I’m saying, ‘What happens when those characters mature and realize that they have a responsibility outside their own survival?'"

He next specifically named Marvel and DC and said, "When I look at these big, spectacular films — I’m looking at you, Marvel and DC — it doesn’t matter how old the characters are, they all act like they’re in college. They have relationships, but they really don’t. They never hang up their spurs because of their kids. The things that really ground us and give us power, love, and a purpose? Those characters don’t experience it, and I think that’s not the way to make movies.”

In 2018, ahead of the release of superhero extravaganza 'Avengers: Infinity War' which brought together two dozen superheroes and more than 60 characters, Cameron had hoped the 'Avengers fatigue' would set in.

“I’m hoping we’re going to start getting Avenger fatigue. Not that I don’t love the movies. It’s just, come on, guys, there are other stories to tell besides, you know, hypogonadal males without families doing death-defying things for two hours and wrecking cities in the process,” Cameron had told Entertainment Weekly.

The first 'Avatar' film, dealing with themes like exploitation, racism, and imperialism, was a huge step in the field of computer-generated imagery-assisted filmmaking. It was widely praised for its visuals and 3D quality, though received some criticism for its thin, simplistic plot.

'Avatar: The Way of Water' continues the story of the mythical alien race called the Na'Vi. Apart from Worthington and Saldaña, it also brings back Stephen Lang, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Giovanni Ribisi, Dileep Rao, and Matt Gerald from the first movie. &nbsp;Sigourney Weaver also returns, but in a different role.

James Cameron blasts Marvel, DC superheroes again: 'They act like they're in college'

After a hiatus of more than a decade, master filmmaker James Cameron is making his big comeback with the sequels of 'Avatar'. The first sequel, titled 'Avatar: The Way of Water' is only a few months away. The franchise gets much bigger with glittering new additions to the already-strong cast. Cameron and 20th Century Studios are launching a massive marketing campaign and press tour for the movie. The canny marketer Cameron, meanwhile, is doing the promotion using just his words. Recently, he teased that while fans of the franchise may think they know what to expect from the movie, they really don't.&nbsp;

Cameron told IGN, "I guarantee you, you won’t be able to predict it. What people hate the most is to go and see a movie and say ‘oh… predictable.’ This is not predictable, I don’t think. I defy anybody to predict where this story goes.”

He added, “We follow [Jake and Neytiri] forward in time, 15 years to where they have a family of pre-teens and teenagers. More of a family dynamic. It’s not a Hallmark, Disney family dynamic. It’s a very dysfunctional family dynamic, but ultimately there’s a core there that they all draw their strength from. I think that’s the thing that’s fundamentally different from the first one.”
