Just a year after the global release of Avatar 2 – The Way of Water, director James Cameron is unwavering in his commitment to a release date for Avatar 3.
Earlier in the year, reports surfaced that Avatar 3, along with several other major blockbuster films, faced delays in the industry. The initial plan was to release the movies two years apart, starting in 2024.
Despite these challenges, the anticipation for the third installment remains high, with fans speculating about potential spoilers found in the special features of The Way of Water.
A year following the sequel, James Cameron shows no signs of altering his newly proposed release date, much to the delight of fans.
James Cameron Confirms Avatar 3 Release Date
Director James Cameron has officially confirmed that Avatar 3 is progressing as planned and is scheduled for release on December 19, 2025.
In a press conference in New Zealand, Cameron, as reported by Variety, described the post-production phase for Avatar as “hectic.” He remarked, “We’re into a very hectic two years of post-production right now. So it will be Christmas of 2025.”
Cameron also expressed his intention to continue making Avatar movies in New Zealand indefinitely, implying that Avatar 4 and 5 are likely to follow the path of the third installment.
The release dates for the upcoming Avatar films are as follows: Avatar 3 on December 19, 2025, Avatar 4 on December 21, 2029, and Avatar 5 on December 19, 2031.
