Disney has delayed all Avatar sequels and the new dates have been pushed back a year. Disney’s list of movies now consists of 20th Century Fox films, which include Marvel, Pixar, Lucasfilm, and Disney Titles.
One of the biggest changes has been made to James Cameron’s Avatar sequels. Avatar 2 was originally planned to be released on December 18, 2020. But the release date has been pushed back for a full year now. The sequel will now be released on December 17, 2021, with new releases in the franchise every other year following 2021. Avatar 3 will release on December 22, 2023, while Avatar 4 on December 19, 2025, and Avatar 5 on December 17, 2027.
In the years that will not have an Avatar release, a Star Wars film will be released in the final month of the year for Disney. All the Avatar movies will be directed by James Cameron the returning director of the franchise. The story will pick up eight years after the first movie, as this was confirmed by Sam Worthington, who stars in the movies.
The actor hinted about the story while talking to We Got This Covered,
This is going to be Jake [Sully, Worthington’s character] eight years later, and he’s got a family now. This film is going to be like nothing you’ve ever seen. The world is bigger than the first one, but essentially, it’s a movie about family. Jake will still have that essence of a kid seeing the world for the first time, but he’s been living in the world for a while now, so what’s this world he’s seeing now for the first time? The film will explore that within this family dynamic.
Avatar is still the top-grossing film of all time with $2.7 billion at the global box office. However, that could all change as Avengers: Endgame quickly catches up to that number.
