Cameron: Avatar 1 and 2 are just appetizers, the best is yet to come

James Cameron, the director of the Avatar series, recently stated in an interview with 20 Minutes that Avatar 1 and 2 are just an appetizer and the subsequent films will be the main course, implying that he saved the "best" for last.

It is reported that the "Avatar" series will be in the form of five parts, and only two parts have been released so far, with three more to come. Previously, Cameron said that "Avatar 3" will explore a new Fire Navi tribe, the Ash People, and "Avatar 5" will explore the Earth.

In an interview, Cameron said that in "Avatar" 1 and 2, most humans were bad guys, and the Na'vi were good guys, but in "Avatar 3" he will do the opposite and show the terrible side of the Na'vi.

For the next three films, James Cameron said he will continue to direct everything.

"What happens if I get sick, or if someone close to me becomes unwell and I have to retire? I have to plan everything so that the story can go on without me. I continue to direct everything. I am the only one who knows the smallest details of this universe. I am a control freak, and it is not in my nature to give up control."

"Avatar 2: The Way of Water" has exceeded 1.5 billion US dollars in global box office, surpassing "Top Gun: Maverick"'s 1.489 billion US dollars, winning the global box office champion in 2022.
