It goes without saying that James Cameron has a lot more story to tell in the universe first seen in Avatar. As it stands now, three sequel films are in development, and if all goes according to plan they will be released each year starting in 2017. However, according to one of Cameron’s frequent collaborators, there may be more.

James Horner, the Oscar-winning composer of Titanic who also did Avatar and Aliens, said that Cameron currently has a script for a fourth sequel – let’s call it Avatar 5 – that he’s trying to condense back into the previously planned three sequels. Read more about the Avatar sequels below.

Horner revealed this in an interview with Hey U Guys. You can listen below.



Here’s the exact quote:

Right now Jim has four sequels, script wise. And he’s trying to make it into three. And that is where, I think, his effort is going right now. To keep it to three sequels. Because he’s got so much going on how do you keep it from expanding into a fifth movie, total. And he’ll get that sorted out.

That’s a pretty big revelation. We’ve been hearing for years that Cameron and his team (which includes Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, Josh Friedman and Shane Salerno) have been working on the scripts. We recently heard those scripts were complete. But the fact there’s another script Cameron is trying to squeeze into the others makes it sound like there’s still much work to be done. Plus, you have to think, once those 5th film elements start getting placed into the other movies, there’s no going back.

It’s also important to note that in Horner’s quote, he specifically says he believes Cameron will be successful in squeezing that fourth script into the other three. Cameron, it seems, is pretty set on making only three more movies.

With Avatar 2 (and its sequels, however many there are) likely to go into production later this year, we’ll probably get more clarification soon. Cameron isn’t one to hide when there’s information to be explained.

What do you think about the possibility of a fifth Avatar?

Avatar was an event. It was the first really good use of 3D in my opinion...

that's it. That's all I could say about it. I never even considered watching it on any other platform after the fact. He announced they were gonna do a sequel on a water planet (i think) and that honestly sounded like a can't miss theater viewing just for the spectacle... but at this point, i don't give 2 fukks about Avatar and i don't think many other people do either. No one even likes 3D, it's already played out for the most part. Sam Worthington went from "hot new action star" to "who?" in a 2 year span.

When did the original come out 08? 09? feels like 30 years ago already. no one is clamoring for these and obviously they're gonna come out eventually b/c the shyt made a billion, but no one cares. 4 friggin sequels? how about putting out 1 first? Cameron is a clown. I'd rather dude just keep studying the bottom of the ocean than dedicate his life to this bullshyt.

oh and btw, i STILL think it probably should have won best picture despite the dumb n'avi and story, b/c Hurt Locker is a boring overrated piece of shyt and this at least was a cinematic achievement. shyt, UP was actually the best movie nominated that year in retrospect, be real.

Dude is crazy making 3,4 sequels. I know he said he didn't want to waste the technology and explore Pandora more, but one sequel would do the trick. But one thing Cameron can do is make a sequel. Hopefully he makes the characters and story much more interesting.
