Ye. The fucker said that after avatar 2 he'd be working on it.
Fat lair he was ( but i get it. Publisher/studio wants money )

Disney wants a bigger ROI because they already damaged their Marvel and Star Wars franchises.

The Avatar movies are more justified than anything Disney has done lately with the exception of Andor.

Andor is great. Easily one of the best TV shows ever made. It’s in the same club as Sopranos and The Wire.

if they dint make thier shows like 8 episodes long, and multi-year hiatuses. they produced so much slop ever since disney+ became available. i fear they will ruin Xmen, and thier spinoffs, pre-xmen spinoffs were interesting before being cancelled due to disney merger.

The technology behind these films are amazing and they're quite entertaining. Personally, I'd like to see Cameron move onto other projects.

He's done a bunch of other stuff in between Avatars. And he's also co-directing a concert film with Billie Eilish coming out in May.

It may not be the kind of projects we were expecting, but they're Cameron projects nonetheless.

Haha. Hmmm.... Will they turn the handle on the massive money printer (James Cameron's career) in spite of said handle turning costing some amount of up-front money?

after he settles in NEW zealand he may think about it.
