James Cameron shared on Friday that the upcoming “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” set to release Dec. 19, 2025, will be even longer than its predecessor “The Way Of Water.”

Oh god…this series will end in 5h long releases that shozld actually have been a mini-show…
I think they meant to say “threatens”.
I mean sure whatever but at the end of the day you’re just remaking pocahontas poorly for the third time.
Idk, that water looks way better than Pocahontas.
I think you misspelled FernGully.

People keep saying this kind of thing, without understanding there are only a couple dozen stories. Literally, every good story is a version of something else. Maybe at best, a mash up of a couple.
Edit: here is a decent page that covers them all.
People keep saying rhat since avatar doesn’t have a good plot.
Plot and story are overrated.
If that’s what really made a movie, a synopsis would be just as good. And way cheaper to make.
I bet Pocahontas itself is also a version of something older, but I’m not versed enough in classical literature to know what it might be.
im having one of those mandela effects were I already thought there had been 3.
I generally believe most movies should be shorter and that there’s a lot of room for addition by subtraction. That said, if a movie earns its runtime then I don’t think there’s an upper limit to how long it can be. Lawrence of Arabia is 3 hours and 45 minutes and it’s incredible, I don’t think I’d cut anything in it besides the long black intro screen which is a relic of its time. I would say justifying that run time gets exponentially harder past a certain point.
With Way of Water sitting at 3 hours and 12 minutes I do think Avatar 3 needs an intermission if it’s going to be longer. Asking people to sit and be fully engaged for 3 and a half hours is a big ask and having a chance to go to the bathroom, get snacks, stretch your legs, etc is needed for something that massive
Especially if kids are going to see it.
Cool, even more lack of story.
Cool, even more lack of… anything constructive.
Am I only one who visually loves Avatar? I can sit four hours just for those water vfx.
Not at all! They’re amazing!
I enjoy the hell out of every frame of those movies.
Wasn’t he supposed to be doing some Terminator stuff? Why is he still stuck on this Avatar shit?
Pretty sure it’s because he has 5 movies planned.
According to wiki, 30% of the 4th movie is already filmed, and the rest is going to be filmed after the 3rd is released. And the 5th movie is set for 2031
ugh. I thought it was “only” 3
It was announced over eight years ago that they’re doing a buncha them.
Don’t particularly care about the length. Just make it better than the last one, because it fell a long way down from the first one.
