James Cameron already has ideas for ‘Avatar’ 6 and 7

Los Angeles, Feb 6 : Filmmaker James Cameron has shared that he has ideas for at least two more movies in the Avatar franchise beyond the five films that have been released or announced.

He said, "Were fully written through movie five, and Ive got ideas for six and seven, although Ill probably be handing the baton on at that point," reports Entertainment Weekly.

He told People magazine, "I mean, mortality catches up.But I mean, were enjoying what were doing.Were loving it.We get to work with great people."

If Cameron has his way, the Avatar series could one day be on par with some other mega-franchises.

He said, "Star Trek, Star Wars, the world-building franchises that have been around since I was a kid, those were my inspirations."

He added, "Were still a young universe.

Were only two movies in, were halfway through our third right now.To have that kind of cultural impact over time, you got to pour all your heart and energy into it."

As per Entertainment Weekly, following the success of Avatar: The Way of Water in 2022, a third Avatar film is slated to hit theatres in 2025, with a fourth set for 2029 and fifth for 2031.

It might be disappointing news for anyone hoping to see Cameron write or direct some non-Avatar projects.

Cameron compared his commitment to the series to the ambitions of visionaries like George Lucas.
