If you want the full story of the sequel's long and drawn-out journey to the screen, here goes. Looking back on it, it seems almost absurd that Avatar 2 was scheduled for release in December , and Avatar 3 was scheduled for December Those dates got pushed back, you will not be surprised to learn.
In April , filming was meant to start on Avatar 2. But April came and went, and filming never got under way. In January the following year, it was announced that work on the motion-capture element of the film would start by August , but it actually began in September. However, a fourth Avatar movie was announced, which pushed the whole lot back to December , , and respectively.
All of the sequels were pushed back again , with Avatar 2 planned for December and the rest set for and presumably. James Cameron blamed the "very involved" writing process for the delays.
