The Titles of James Cameron's AVATAR Sequel May Have Been Leaked
It looks like the titles to director James Cameron’s next four Avatar movie have leaked. Up until now the films have been referred to as Avatar 2, Avatar 3, Avatar 4 and Avatar 5. Now BBC News, which is a very credible source, says they’ve uncovered the actual titles of the sequels thanks to “documentation” they’ve seen containing plans for the franchise.
The four titles that they’ve uncovered include the following: Avatar: The Way of Water, Avatar: The Seed Bearer, Avatar: The Tulkun Rider, and Avatar: The Quest for Eywa.
Since there are no story details regarding these films yet, the titles here may sound pretty weird. Avatar: The Way of the Water is pretty straight forward because we know that a lot of the story will be set underwater on the oceans of Pandoa. I’m sure after we see that first sequel, The Seed Bearer will make so much more sense. I imagine that has something to do with the seeds of the Tree of Souls.
As for The Tulkun Rider, maybe the Tulkin is a monstrous creature that has been tamed by some kind of badass Na’vi warrior. Then there’s The Quest for Eywa, which is in reference to the “guiding force and deity of Pandora and the Na’vi.”
If these really are the titles, I’m sure that they make perfect sense for the people who are actually working on the movies and know what is going on. For the rest of us, we’ll just have to wait and see how the titles end up fitting the stories as we watch the films.
When previously talking about the film Jon Landau opened up about the setting for the sequels saying:
“As we’ve moved on with the sequels to Avatar we made a very conscious decision to stage the whole four sequels on Pandora. We don’t need to go to another world if we want water, we’re going to go to the oceans of Pandora.
”It’s a continuation of the same characters, but what happen when warriors that are willing to go on suicide charges, and leap off cliffs on to the back of big orange toruks, what happens when they grow up and have their own kids? It becomes a very different story. Now the kids are the risk-takers and the change-makers. So, it’s interesting, but it makes sense to me. Everybody’s either a parent, or they had parents at the very least, and if you look at the big successful franchises now, they’re pretty much uninterested in that.”
It was also revealed that are different clans of Na’vi all over Pandora:
“We’re going to go to totally different environments, we’re going to meet different cultures. Just like our planet is as diverse culturally as we are environmentally. We want to introduce people to different cultures. In the first movie, we only met the Omaticaya clan, and they are the clan here allowing us to come to the Valley of Mo’ara. But as we venture out we’re going to different environments and different clans.”
It’’s be interesting to see how the story for the next four Avatar films play out. I’m just excited that Cameron is finally making these movies!
Avatar 2 will hit theaters on December 18, 2020, followed by Avatar 3 on December 17, 2021; then Avatar 4 on December 20, 2024; and finally Avatar 5 on December 19, 2025.
