We won’t start seeing them until 2020 but, James Cameron has announced that principal photography involving main cast members has wrapped on the Avatar sequels. Avatar 2 & 3 have been filming since September 2017.
James Cameron has this to say in a video message about the completion of the sequels:
“Hi, James Cameron here and today I’m coming to you from the set of the Avatarsequels — and behind me you can see our performance-capture stage. Today we’re capturing some stunt scenes filming some stunt scenes but our principal cast are all wrapped: Sam [Worthington], Zoe [Saldana], Sigourney [Weaver], Stephen Lang, Kate Winslet. They’re done now but they gave us incredible performances. And I can’t tell you how proud I am of the work that they did on these films.”
Avatar 2 is due in theaters on December 18, 2020, and will be followed by Avatar 3 on December 17, 2021. Two additional sequels are planned after that if the first pair delivers the kind of box-office success that Fox and Cameron are expecting. The original film is still the highest-grossing film of all-time at the global box office with a take of $2.7 billion.
