Had “Avatar 2” stick to its plan of releasing also in December next year, the two blockbuster movies will certainly clash at the box office and regardless of whoever wins, the results of the other already have a telling impact on the other as far as the race to make it to the list of highest-grossing movie of all time is concerned.
Last year, the reports were saying that the critically-acclaimed producer and director was having trouble reducing the script to fit into three movies.
Apparently, he has changed his mind. Instead of working to reduce the script, Cameron decided to add another film of the franchise, thus there is also going to be an “Avatar 5.”
Cameron also explained that based on the kind of artwork he is seeing, it is all based on pure imagination and really far beyond the first film so much so that he promised that “Avatar 2” and the three other sequels will be an epic saga.
As it is, the initial plan of 20th Century Fox is to release “Avatar 2” during Christmas of 2018, but if a “Star Wars” movie will be airing on the same date, it is possible that a push-back of the “Avatar” may again be in the offing.
Although Cameron did not say why he specifically does not want to go head-to-head with any of the “Star Wars’ sequels, it seems that he and Disney have come to a special agreement.
