Originally Avatar 2 was eyeing a 2014 release, however, Cameron expanded his vision for the future of the Avatar franchise into three more sequels.
The second movie was further delayed when Cameron insisted on developing new technology that would allow motion capture technology to be used underwater.

This announcement also gave Avatar 2 a release date in 2018, with each subsequent movie coming two years after the last. The film was further pushed back due to the ongoing Covid Pandemic. Now the official announcement from the team has arrived and the date of release was finalised to be 16 of December 2022.
The film is directed by James Cameron with Josh Friedman sharing writing credits and Friedman handling the screenplay. Cameron will also serve as a producer alongside Jon Landau. 20th Century Studios returns as the production company in association with TSG Entertainment and Lightstorm Entertainment.
