Nearly eleven years ago James Cameron created a film that, until just over a year ago, sat at the top of the all-time top grossing films. Cameron showcased to the world CGI in a way that it has never been seen before. ‘Avatar’ may not have been the greatest movie ever, but it was a good movie and that was certainly shown to change the way we saw movies that were entirely made out of CGI. That kind of movie-making process is how we end up with the films like ‘Avengers: Endgame’ that come after it. We end up with technology that we never would have expected to see and get some pretty incredible follow-ups to what came first.

When ‘Avatar’ was released in 2009 it was a technological masterpiece and drew people in because of its visuals and unique story. The combination of both of these things are what made the film great, and many people then expected to find out when the next one would release. James Cameron himself has said that he made ‘Avatar’ with the idea in mind of it being a tetralogy, a four-film series. It would be years before we got any new information on the next film in the series, and now that we finally got something on it, an epidemic has stopped all movie productions.

With all movie productions at a standstill, movie release timetables have been forced to change with a good number of films being moved to either next year or the year after. ‘Avatar 2’ was one of the films in contention for being moved to 2022, but now it may still be possible to release it in 2021. While it might not be a guarantee, James Cameron has said that he still expects his movie to make its 2021 release date. Cameron has made his plans to get back to New Zealand the moment he is able to start up production again to get his project back under way. Hopefully we will get to go see it next year and not have to wait so long to watch it.
