the next part will still be very long, and it is James Cameron who assures it

James Cameron announced it: we can already start to strengthen our bladder while waiting Avatar 3a.k.a Avatar : Fire and Ash.

Since he ruled Hollywood, James Cameron likes to take his time (and ours with it). In fact, he has only directed one feature-length fiction film under the two-hour mark, Terminator (non, Piranha 2 does not count). Of the Aliensit went to 2h17, and continued to make the stopwatch climb, until it completely exceeded the three-hour mark with the 3h14 of Titanic.

The franchise Avatarto which he now devotes most of his life, is no exception to the rule. The first part went back under 3 hours with “only” 2h42 on the clock. But the second, Avatar: The Voice of Waterlasted 3h12, during which our editor Antoine did not blink a single eye, entering the Guinness Book of Records on this occasion. And he could well appear in the next edition, according to Big Jim.

Avatar 3: peeing prohibited

The magazine Empire planned in 2025 to cover Avatar 3 every month of the year, with exclusive information. For the first, he revealed never-before-seen images of the new critters roaming Pandora, as well as an interview with James Cameron. During this interview, quoted by World of Reelhe confirmed that opuses 2 and 3 would be of a “equal duration”. Fire and Ash should therefore also exceed 3 hoursto our greatest pleasure.

To tell the truth, few people were counting on a one-hour-twenty-hour B series, but this statement confirms that the filmmaker always has a great epic fresco in mindwhile he was still talking a few months ago about People his plans for potential Avatar 6 et 7made by someone else.

Suffice to say that this third part, which will feature the unfriendly tribe of Ashes, must have cost Disney dearly. But The Way of Water having kept his bet by rising to third place in the ranking of the biggest hits in history, the economic potential remains there.

The interview includes another reassuring news: the release date will not be pushed back, the colossal post-production being ahead of schedule. Avatar 3 will therefore be released on our screens on December 17, 2025.
