James Cameron has been talking about developing the film into a franchise. He purposed a trilogy and the actors have commitments to three films. Now Cameron is giving more details on how the next film could work. He recently confirmed that Sam Worthington and possibly Zoe Saldana will return for the next movie.
"So now we have Jake, we have Neytiri. Sam can step right back into it, the characters will fit them like a glove, and we'll just go on. So a lot of the start-up torque that had to be done for one movie really makes more sense if you play it out across several films."
Now while I did enjoy visiting Pandora I'm not sure I would like to stay there now that there isn't conflict. So what does Cameron have in mind for future films? He would hope to visit the other moons of Polyphemus in the sequels. This could mean the Avatar universe will be expanded to more alien worlds and cultures. I wouldn't be surprised if the RDA had other mining operations on those moons. Let's just hope the next film takes less than four years to complete.
James Cameron stated the box office would predict if we would get more films. While Avatar might be the most costly film 20th Century Fox has ever made. It could end up becoming their most profitable one as well. Over the holidays it will have some serious competition with Sherlock Holmes and family friendly films. Avatar is looking to make back it's massive production and advertising budgets with possible profits. That's of course if the film stays in theaters long enough to gather more steam.
Worldwide Box Office: $416.4 Million
