Cameron Will Not Direct The Fourth And Fifth Installment
Cameron has said earlier that he may not direct the later two planned films in the franchise. “The Avatar films themselves are kind of all-consuming,” he said.
“I’ve got some other things I’m developing as well that are exciting. I think eventually over time – I don’t know if that’s after three or after four – I’ll want to pass the baton to a director that I trust to take over, so I can go do some other stuff that I’m also interested in. Or maybe not. I don’t know.”
But the director is excited about the sequels. “Everything I need to say about family, about sustainability, about climate, about the natural world, the themes that are important to me in real life and in my cinematic life, I can say on this canvas,” Cameron said.
