‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’: The Last Airbender to Our Patience?

James Cameron, bless his heart 👴, has graced us with three Avatar movies so far. And guess what? He wants MORE! Can you believe it? 🙄 He’s dreaming of directing a fourth and fifth Avatar, and even has “ideas” for a SIXTH and SEVENTH! 🤣 At 71, maybe he should stick to knitting or something. Four more of these blue alien epics? Good luck with that, buddy. 🍀

But here’s the kicker: these Avatar flicks cost, like, a gazillion dollars 💰 to make. If they don’t rake in the dough, the whole franchise could go belly up! 😱 In a recent interview, Cameron admitted that there’s a teeny-tiny possibility (ahem, more like a HUGE probability) that Avatar: Fire and Ash could be the LAST one. 😭

“I have no doubt in my mind that this movie will make money,” Cameron declared. “The question is, does it make enough money to justify doing it again?” 🤔 Oh, the suspense! Will people actually care about blue cat-people for a fourth time? 🤷‍♀️

Cameron filmed a bunch of live-action and motion-capture stuff for the second and third Avatar movies at the same time. Clever, right? 😜 But apparently, he’s not doing that for the next ones. 🙄 Also, Avatar: The Way of Water left a bunch of loose ends dangling, while Fire and Ash supposedly wraps things up a bit more. So, if it flops, no biggie, right? 😜

“There is one open thread, and if it ends there theatrically, I’ll write a book,” Cameron threatened. James Cameron Avatar books? Sounds like a cure for insomnia. 😴

Apparently, committing to one Avatar really means committing to TWO. Because Avatar 4 and 5 are supposed to be like two peas in a pod. Or, you know, two blue aliens in a jungle. 🌿 That means Cameron will be spending his entire 70s making these things! 👴 And Disney will be throwing mountains of cash 💸 at these twin projects. After The Way of Water, everyone thought Cameron would be making these movies until he became one with the Tree of Souls or something. 🌳 Now, who knows? 🤷‍♀️

Avatar: Fire and Ash is scheduled to hit theaters on December 19. After that… only Eywa (and maybe box office analysts) knows what’s going to happen. 🔮
