The fourth installment of the franchise. Plot TBA.
James Cameron continues his sci-fi franchise following two previous entries that both grossed over $2 billion at the global box office.
James Cameron's Pandora series continues with Avatar 4, the fourth of the five films he mapped out before the second one was even made. Disney has released no plot details. 20th Century Studios is producing, as it has throughout the sequels, with Cameron directing and co-writing. The first two films each took more than two billion dollars worldwide, a result no other director has managed twice, and that is the straightforward reason a project this expensive keeps getting extended rather than wrapped up.
The film opens on December 21, 2029, in the December slot the series has used for every entry so far. That date has moved repeatedly over the years, which is normal for this production: the sequels were shot on overlapping schedules and the release calendar has been rebuilt more than once. Cameron has at times suggested he might hand directing duties on the later films to someone else, so his involvement is current but not guaranteed, and worth rechecking closer to the date.
James Cameron’s sci-fi franchise includes the highest-grossing film in cinematic history, with this entry set to conclude his planned multi-decade narrative saga.
