If James Cameron never did other Athatar itHe is happy where this new one is things are left behind. Speaking to IO9 about the new film, Avatar: Fire and Ashthe writer and director of some of the greatest sequels of all time Switched to calling this film a sequel, instead of describing the first three films as a saga and the last two as one. Which is the reason, If films don’t happenhe’s okay with leaving it here.

“I think there’s a little bit of experience with sequels and how you can give it more than the audience expects, take them from the familiar to the new time,” Cameron said. “I don’t think so Fire and ashes as a sequel. I think this is the end of a saga. I like ‘Saga’ more than ‘Seequel’ because a lot of where we go with the story is the original story architecture. So if you think of it as the third act, I think that’s much healthier. As opposed to a typical Hollywood sequel, where they make a bunch of money with a movie and then they’re like, ‘Oh, crap. We had to scramble around and get a new script. Maybe not very good, but let’s just shoot it and get it. ‘ That’s not what we do here. It’s a long game. And I know we know we’re going to play a long game and bet the audience will come with us and care for these people. Because they may be 10 feet tall and blue, but they are human. “

But those people, at least for now, Still set to return to theaters OTHERS Avatar 4 In 2029 and Avatar 5 in 2031. In the years since the creation those notices, Cameron was cold over the did he think they would actually happen And now that means, if they do, that’s a whole other story. “It’s its own Saga,” he said of films four and five. “It has a beginning and a middle and an end that plays throughout the films. They are the Vaporware of today.”

His actors hope they are more than that, though. “I hope we can do four and five, because it’s a mind-bending, crazy story that I feel needs to be told,” Jack Champion, Spider-Man, told IO9. “It’s going to the next level,” added Trinity Bliss, who plays Tuk.
