The sequel to "Avatar" was also suspended due to the epidemic, and the post-production special effects are still being done

For those fans who want to see the sequel to "Avatar", they will have to wait again. According to foreign media Hollywood Reporter, the filming of the sequel to "Avatar" in New Zealand has been stopped due to the new crown epidemic, and it is not certain when it will resume. Producer Jon Landau said that the entire filming of the sequel, which was scheduled to take place in April, was suspended. Although the filming cannot proceed, the management of the film will stay in Los Angeles to continue working, and the post-production special effects are still being done.

Landau said that what we are facing now is a global crisis, not just a matter for the film industry, and everyone needs to do their best to contribute to alleviating the epidemic.

According to the schedule previously given by Disney, "Avatar 2" has been confirmed to be released on December 17, 2021, followed by "Avatar 3" on December 22, 2023, "Avatar 4" on December 19, 2025, and "Avatar 5" on December 17, 2027.

At the CES in early January this year, James Cameron appeared on the Mercedes-Benz press conference stage. In addition to unveiling the Mercedes-Benz "Avatar" concept car Vision-AVTR, which he helped design, he also released four stills of "Avatar 2" for the first time. The planet Pandora in the photos still looks so dreamy, with the Na'vi people in the background in the near distance and the blue sea and the mysterious planet in the sky in the far distance.
