Avatar: Frontiers of Pandorawas the epic finale that concluded the Ubisoft Forward event at E3, but where is James Cameronâs film sequel?
The directorâs fantasy adventure released in 2009 and still stands as the most successful film to date at the box office, raking in over $2.814 billion to date.
It is well known that Cameron has a total of four sequels in the works for theAvatarfranchise, which is an ambitious undertaking, and fans have now been waiting over ten years for the first successor to release.

What Development Stage isAvatar 2At?
The first sequel was scheduled to release in Winter 2021, butdue to pandemic delays, the release was inevitably pushed back to next year.
Cameron confirmed in September 2020, in an interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger, that the live-action filming in New Zealand was â100% completeâ, and the team now has a grueling post-production stint ahead of them - given the amount of CGI involved.
The director has highlighted that the in-depth writing process and scheduling conflicts were some of the reasons behind the sequelâs extensive delay over the past decade.
What isAvatar 2âsRelease Window?
Back in 2017, it was announced thatAvatar 2would release June 22, 2025, withAvatar 3following in 2021,Avatar 4in 2024 andAvatar 5in 2025. As it stands, none of those dates have been fulfilled, and fans are wondering if they will ever see the fifth sequel.
Many thought it was ridiculous for the director to announce so many sequels at once, and it certainly seems like the project is running away from him.
