James Cameron Talks About ‘Avatar 3’
Cameron created an entirely new world of Pandora in the ‘Avatar‘ franchise which includes the Na’vi people. In the sequel, we see two different clans, the forest-dwelling Omaticaya and the water-dwelling Metkayina.
In an interview with 20 Minutes, Cameron said that in ‘Avatar 3‘, he will introduce a third clan of Pandora that will show their darker side. He said it will explore “different cultures from those I have already shown.” “The fire will be represented by the ‘Ash People.’ I want to show the Na’vi from another angle because, so far, I have only shown their good sides,” Cameron said.
He continued, “In the early films, there are very negative human examples and very positive Na’vi examples. In ‘Avatar 3,’ we will do the opposite. We will also explore new worlds, while continuing the story of the main characters.”

While the film has been a success, people have been complaining about the 3-hour time duration of ‘Avatar: The Way of Water.’ It would have been 10 minutes longer if Cameron hadn’t removed some scenes.
The director revealed that he removed 10 minutes of footage featuring gun violence in the film. “I actually cut about 10 minutes of the movie targeting gunplay action,” he said.
“I don’t know if I would want to fetishize the gun, like I did on a couple of ‘Terminator’ movies 30-plus years ago, in our current world“, he said. Cameron said that the situation with the guns in society “turns my stomach.”
