James Cameron talks about the delay of the film 'Avatar' amid COVID 19!

Cameron, of course, has promised that the wait will be worth it, telling that the sequels "will deliver" to the expectations. Cameron's long-delayed sequels to "Avatar" will now premiere every other December, starting 2022. The release dates are: "Avatar 2" on December 16, 2022, "Avatar 3" on December 20, 2024, "Avatar 4" on December 18, 2026 and "Avatar 5" on December 22, 2028. The second "Avatar" installment, which was originally planned to open in 2014, will debut 13 years after the release of the first film.

 

James Cameron took to Instagram via the official Avatar account to address the delay in release amongst the ongoing Covid pandemic, reports in a daily. He said, "I see you" in Na'vi, the official language of Pandora. He went on to say that they are currently filming in New Zealand, but the pandemic is preventing them to do virtual production work on their stages in Los Angeles. "That work is just as critical to films as the live action work," he revealed. Cameron went on to say that the first "Avatar" sequel was on track for a December 2021 release date prior to the pandemic. The virus crisis has impacted the schedule and they will no longer be able to make that date. "There is no one more disappointed about this delay than me. But I am buoyed by the incredible performances of our cast and the extraordinary work that Weta Digital is doing bringing the world of Pandora and the characters of the film to life," he revealed further. He thanked Disney Studios for their support and thanked fans. "Most of all, I am grateful to you, our fans, for your support over the years and I promise that what we bring to cinemas will deliver," he further added. Cameron ended conversation by telling "thank you" in Na'vi.
