Furthermore, director James Cameron returned to head the projects, and he and Jon Landau will be producing the upcoming sequels. Cameron also worked hard on the script, and fans would not have it any other way considering the masterpiece he created in the first installment.
Meanwhile, Cameron has also added a group of young actors to portray the offspring of Jake (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldana). Given that it might prove to be difficult for them to immediately start filming a motion-capture role right off the bat, Landau took the kids to a Pandora-themed park at Walt Disney World.
They were allowed to get a general feel of the environment, as well as drink the sights in before applying what they learned and imagining the universe when filming their scenes begin.
The "Avatar" sequel has been a long time coming, especially since the first installment was released back in 2009. Eight years later, Cameron is expected to bring another box office hit, with "Avatar 2" set to land in theaters on Dec. 18, 2020, "Avatar 3" on Dec. 17, 2021, "Avatar 4" on Dec. 20, 2024, and "Avatar 5" on Dec. 19, 2025.
