The new postponement of the James Cameron saga is part of a major change announced on Tuesday of the opening dates of the next releases in cinemas by the studio The Walt Disney Co. Thus, “Avatar 3” moved from December 20, 2024 to December 19, 2025. , while “Avatar 5″ postponed from December 22, 2028 to December 19, 2031.

And then ‘Avatar 4 and 5’ are both written. We even have a part of 4 filmed. At this time, we started a franchise. We started a saga that can now unfold over several films”, he clarified during an interview recorded for the program “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?” the third biggest hit ever, as long as past film receipts are not updated with the impact of inflation.
