James Cameron Was Worried Avatar 2 Might Have Taken Too Long - Gizmodo

And yet, even he admits that the 13 years it will have taken between 2009's mega hit and its December sequel Avatar: The Way of Water did worry him just a little bit.

“I was a little concerned that I had stretched the tether too far, in our fast-paced, modern world, with Avatar 2 coming in 12 years later,” Cameron told the New York Times.

In the same interview, he points out he made Aliens seven years after the first film, and it’s considered one of the greatest sequels ever.

He also made Terminator 2: Judgment Day seven years after the original and not only is it too is considered one of the greatest sequels ever, it exponential outgrossed the original.

Avatar 3 is scheduled for release December 2024, with parts 4 and 5 coming two years after the previous?

For an Avatar refresher, the original film is coming back to theaters this weekend.
