The sequel to the original movie which famously took James Cameron 19 years from its original conception to its release, will also be a lengthy process which will see an expansion of the original movie universe as Cameron oversees creature design and the further construction of Pandora’s fictional ecosystem.
While speaking at a recent event James Cameron gave an update on the scripts for Avatar 2, Avatar 3 and Avatar 4, assuring fans that pre-production for all of them is in full swing. |
“The second, third and fourth films all go into production simultaneously. They’re essentially all in preproduction now, because we are designing creatures, settings, and characters that span all three films. And we should be finished with all three scripts within the next, I would say, six weeks.
“There’s always pressure, whether it’s a new film or whether it’s a sequel, to entertain and amaze an audience. I’ve felt that pressure my entire career, so there’s nothing new there. The biggest pressure I feel right now is cutting out things I love to get the film down to a length that is affordable. There hasn’t been a problem finding new and wonderful things to include in the movie.”
James Cameron also took time to clear the rumors that Arnold Schwarzenegger ( the face of Cameron’s Terminator franchise) would be playing the villain in Avatar 2. Cameron indicated that there isn’t really a Schwarzenegger-shaped hole in the scripts for Avatar sequels.
“As of right now, he and I have not discussed it, and I don’t see a role as the scripts are coming together that would be appropriate for him, so I would say probably not.”
Aside from all the rumors concerning new cast members for the sequel, there is yet to be any announcements of any new cast members who will be joining the Avatar crew for the movie's sequel indicating that many of the actors from Avatar could easily reprise their roles. Some of the top cast who are expected to retain their roles in Avatar 2, Avatar 3 and Avatar 4 include Zoe Saldana, Sam Worthington and Stephen Lang.
The big question many moviegoers will be asking themselves is whether or not humans will still play the villains, all in all we all cant wait for these epic movies to released.
