James Cameron Eyes Avatar 4–7 Directing Roles

James Cameron has confirmed he plans to direct Avatar 4 and 5, stating he is healthy and ready to continue, but acknowledges he may reconsider if the workload becomes unmanageable over the next six or seven years. He cites his experience working with Robert Rodriguez on Alita: Battle Angel as a reference for potentially collaborating with future directors should he need to step back. Scripts for Avatar 3 through 5 are complete, and some scenes for the later films have already been filmed. Cameron has also developed ideas for possible sixth and seventh Avatar movies, though he expects to hand these off to other directors due to age and other commitments. In addition to his Avatar projects, he is working on adaptations of 'The Devils' and 'Ghosts of Hiroshima.' Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third film, is set for release in December 2025, with Avatar 4 and 5 scheduled for 2029 and 2031.
