Today “Avatar” director James Cameron announced that there will be four “Avatar” sequels, five movies in total. “Avatar 2” is expected to hit theaters by 2018, the dates for the other three films aren’t officially set but tentatively will be 2020, 2022, and 2023.
Cameron said about this ambitious undertaking, “We have decided to embark on a truly massive cinematic process. I’ve been working the last couple of years with a team of four top screenwriters to design the world of Avatar going forward: The characters, the creatures, the environment, the new cultures. So far, the art I’m seeing, is in pure imagination, really far beyond the first film. It’s going to be a true epic saga.”
This is exciting news not only for fans of the movie, but also for Disney park-goers. Announced at last year’s D23, is the plan for a 2017 opening date of an Avatar-themed land at Disney’s Animal Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort. It will be called Pandora: The World of Avatar.
With so many new “Avatar” movies now on the horizon, it seems like the new land at Animal Kingdom will follow Walt’s dream that his parks will “never be finished”, always changing and having new additions.
