‘Avatar’: The Next Four Installments Receive Release Dates, beginning in 2020
Avatar may have blown up the movie box office records, but the sequel(s) keep getting delayed and now the James Cameron universe appears to be set to resume in 2020 with four new films planned.
The first sequel will now be released on Dec. 18, 2020, followed by Dec. 17, 2021 and then three years later on Dec. 20, 2024 and then Dec. 19, 2025.
Cameron is shooting the films concurrently with filming reportedly underway from Lightstorm in New Zealand with Jon Landau and the cast of Zoe Saldana, Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, and Stephen Lang all returning. The script was written by Cameron with Josh Friedman, Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, and Shane Salerno.
The director told Empire magazine three years ago: “I can tell you one thing about them: They’re gonna be bitchin.’ You will sh*t yourself with your mouth wide open.”
Here’s the Facebook post with these new dates: Great to be working with the best team in the business! Avatar takes flight as we begin concurrent production on four sequels. The journey continues December 18, 2020, December 17, 2021, December 20, 2024 and December 19, 2025!
