James Cameron Teases That AVATAR 3 Will Address the "Ash People" as Well as a Darker Side of the Na'vi
The long-awaited Avatar 2 is officially in the books with the December release of Avatar: The Way of Water, and now the franchise director James Cameron is looking ahead to the next movie, which is almost completed, and will release in 2024.
When asked about what fans can expect from the third Avatar film, Cameron told French outlet 20 Minutes (from John Francis Gillman’s translation, via ComingSoon):
“To show cultures different from those I have already shown. The fire will be represented by the ‘Ash People.’ I want to reveal the Na’vi from another angle because, for the moment, I have only shown their good sides. In the early films, there are very negative human examples and very positive Na’vi examples. In Avatar 3, we’ll have the opposite.”
Cameron went on to talk about his goals with the franchise and how the story will continue to grow:
“We will also explore new universes while continuing the story of the main characters. I can say that the last parts will be the best. The others were an introduction, a way to set the table before serving the meal. But, obviously, everything will depend on how Avatar 2 will be received, if it will find its audience.”
Avatar 3 is scheduled to hit theaters on December 20, 2024. Are you looking forward to the next Avatar film?
