Postponed releases, but which is finally seeing the light of day!
In 2013 James Cameron announces the release of Avatar 2 and the two sequels for the end of 2016, the end of 2017 and 2018. Two years later the production is delayed and the director announces that the three blockbusters will be released in 2017, 2018 and 2019. Then the outings are indeed postponed several times, until the covid or the filming unfortunately had to be interrupted. The release of Avatar 2 was this December 14, 2022, the 3rd part is scheduled for December 18, 2024, the 4th for December 16, 2026 and the 5th for December 20, 2028.
James Cameron's method of writing
Cameron entrusted the scripts for the Avatar sequels to the teams of Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, Josh Friedman, Shane Salerno, one team per film. The director wanted to write all four sequels simultaneously:
We saw each other for 7 months and we wrote every scene for every movie.
I assigned each screenwriter the film they were going to work on...(...)
The last day. I knew that if I told them their script very early on, they wouldn't listen to the discussions about the other film. As a result, everyone knew by the minute what was happening before and after the passage of the story they were writing.
Location
The Way of the Water and its sequel were filmed simultaneously in New Zealand and California.
