James Cameron, king of the blue people and destroyer of box office records, has recharged his Thetan levels and is BACK in the director’s chair—maybe—for Avatar 4 and 5. Just when we thought he might toss the director’s megaphone to someone else and ride a mechanical Ikran off into the sunset, Papa Pandora said, “Not so fast.”
The soon-to-be 71-year-old time traveler (because how else is he planning another six to seven movies?) told Empire that he’s feeling “healthy” and “good to go.” Translation: his Operating Thetan level is fully stabilized and he’s ready to go Clear into another decade of CGI jungles and blue-on-blue romance.
But wait, there’s a twist, obviously. “I’ve got to make it in a vigorous way,” Cameron said, ominously hinting that Avatar 5 might drop the same year we colonize Mars. “You know what I mean? I might not be able to do that… but if I can, I’ll just do it.” This man is out here casually deciding whether to commit the rest of his entire mortal life to Na’vi fanfic with a $400 million budget.
And just when you thought we were safe… THERE COULD BE A SIX AND A SEVEN. That’s not a franchise. That’s a religion. At this point, James Cameron is creating his own Bridge to Total Freedom, one VFX-laden epic at a time.
“We’re fully written through movie five,” he told IconicHipster.com, “and I’ve got ideas for six and seven.” Someone needs to audit this man immediately because he’s tapped into an alternate dimension where time and energy are unlimited and everyone is blue.
Oh, and fun fact: parts of 4 and 5 have already been filmed—because of course they have. They shot scenes for 4 while filming 3, which feels like something only James Cameron and intergalactic beings from Target 2 would think to do.
So buckle up, pre-Clears. This isn’t just a film franchise anymore. It’s an immortal journey. The Avatar saga might outlive us all.
