With the extra movie, Summer Glau can play Sigourney Weaver’s quadriplegic marine biologist daughter with her very own Avatar. When the 5th sequel is added, Jewel Staite can have her own Avatar. With 6 or more sequels, more Firefly actors can have their Avatars.

Four more movies I have no interest in seeing. By the time the first sequel comes out most people will have forgotten about Avatar, if they haven't already.

I dunno, the first one is still the #1 flick ever. After the abortion that is B v S and the rehash reboot of "Star Wars" I hope these don't suck.

Stephen Lang! It's like having Arnold Schwarzenegger return from the dead for Terminator.
(If you guessed Sigourney Weaver, you are also correct. Michelle Rodriguez? Incorrect.)
This time Lang lost his rank as Colonel Miles Quaritch. He's just Miles.

Avatar: The Way of Water reminds us that blockbusters don’t have to look absolutely terrible
Finally, a big movie that looks like something.
Written by Alissa Wilkinson, who is a member of the New York Film Critics Circle and the National Society of Film Critics.
I hated the first Avatar movie — like, hated it. It came out in 2009, and I remember tearing off my 3D glasses at its conclusion, livid that I had paid around $18 to watch Dances With Wolves but with blue people. All blockbusters recycle a certain set of tropes, but for some reason Avatar felt trite and silly, as if its much-vaunted groundbreaking visuals were a smokescreen to the fact that nobody remembered to come up with a story that matched.
I overreacted. I know that now. I rewatched Avatar a few weeks ago (on my 3D TV, purchased in the brief period when you could get a 3D TV) and sure, it’s trite and worn. The images are naturally outdated, as to be expected; at this point, it resembles most video games. But what sticks out now is that it looks like something, the product of a fertile visual imagination — James Cameron’s — that thrives on going for broke.
Of course, blockbusters only have one actual purpose: to make money, a great deal of it, as quickly as possible. But audiences don’t care about the box office returns; we’re there to feel something. Some blockbusters generate a feeling of togetherness and belonging. Others inspire terror, or gut-busting laughter. But for my money, the best thing a blockbuster can achieve is an overwhelming sense of awe.
Awe is what’s missing in most of today’s blockbusters. It’s hard to find a movie that truly leaves your jaw on the ground through sheer invention, rather than just giving you what you expect, because by now, we’ve seen everything. Soaring spaceships or pow-punching superheroes can still be cool, but they’re not new or surprising. We’ve had decades of gargantuan dinosaurs and monsters with dripping teeth, of massive blow-out fights and ferocious beasts. It’s still rad to watch Tom Cruise jump out of flying contraptions, but I’m not in awe of the image, just tickled by the spectacle of watching a famous actor perform increasingly deranged stunts. Add to that the muddy and confused look of many contemporary blockbusters, movies with little to no visual style to speak of — yes, I speak here of most movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — and big-screen awe is vanishingly rare.
I think that explains why, despite its myriad deficiencies, I have to cheer at the arrival of Avatar: The Way of Water, 13 years after the first installment left me so mad in that multiplex. Its plot is hacky; it’s got some really clunky characters; the dialogue is, at times, unthinkably stupid. (“The way of water connects all things” is the kind of line that sounds profound until you really think about it.) But this new Avatar filled an awe-shaped void in my heart, and for that, I thank James Cameron.

If broke is what Avatar 2 is going for, mission accomplished.
There will be no more Avatar movies after the second.
Maybe they'll reboot it 20 or 30 years from now after Cameron is dead.
Even if it somehow manages to dethrone Top Gun: Maverick as the largest grossing movie of 2022, it would still have to make another half-Billion dollars just to break even.
This box office failure will kill Cameron's career. A once great career that has been dying for 20 years now.

Growing up in a Republic was nice... Shame we couldn't keep it.

Quote:If Avatar doesn't sell $2 billion in tickets, Cameron will claim he is poor, but he is lying to protect himself from fans and criminals who want some of his wealth from this movie. Cameron doesn't want the IRS to know how much he made, either. That way he can claim a false income number on his tax returns, just like Trump would.

As you can see above, Ticket sales are public knowledge. Disney won't publicize the number but it knows exactly how much a movie costs to market and make. If James Cameron won't say the number, it is because he is a greedy lying sack of shit who does not want the IRS to know how much richer he will be after this movie closes in the theaters. The only answer Cameron would give about the sequel’s budget when asked by GQ magazine was the following: “Very fucking [expensive].”
