'We're making standalone movies that will stand alone,' Landau told Slashfilm. Indeed, Cameron's desire to craft a story that was truly worth telling is one of the main reasons Avatar 2 has taken so long to materialize. While Avatar 2 will be the second act of a five-movie saga, the plan is for it to function as a film in its own right, while still being part of a wider arc. 'It's more of a family saga about the struggle with the humans.' 'The storyline in the sequels really follows Jake and Neytiri, and their children,' Cameron told Variety.

Plot specifics are currently as elusive as the 'Unobtainium' the human invaders were trying to extract from Pandora in the original Avatar. 'No final decisions have been made yet.'Īlternatively, he could just keep things simple by going the Alien route with Avatars, Avatar 3, Avatar Resurrection and Avatar Vs Predator.

'Those titles are among the titles that are in consideration,' Cameron told ET. A 2018 BBC report claimed the four new films may be titled Avatar: The Way of Water, Avatar: The Seed Bearer, Avatar: The Tulkun Rider and Avatar: The Quest for Eywa (Eywa being the name of the Pandoran deity worshipped by the Na’vi).Īlas, if you think they sound a tad uninspiring, the bad news is that they may well be real. They show more of the movie's ocean-based settings. The first images of Avatar 2 above – concept art from the watery parts of Pandora – were unveiled during CES 2020.
