James Cameron Has a Backup Plan for ‘Avatar’ If ‘Hearth & Ash’ Flops

December is right here, and with it, a brand new Avatar film. These films maintain making that vacation cash, and the upcoming Fire & Ash appears to maintain that going. But when for no matter cause, it underperfomed and this was the final film within the sequence? James Cameron’s obtained a contingency plan.

On a current episode of Matt Belloni’s “The Town” podcast, the filmmaker stated he was “completely” ready to shut the e book on the franchise if wanted, acknowledging he’s been “in Avatar land for [30] years. If that is the place it ends, cool.” He’s not open to utterly handing issues over to another person—”I might produce it. I don’t suppose there’d ever be a model the place there’s one other Avatar film that I didn’t produce intently,” he talked about—but when want be, he’ll tie issues up with a e book.

Sure, actually: there’s apparently simply one open story thread on the finish of Hearth & Ash, and he’ll convey it to the web page. However once more, that’s provided that this new film underperforms. Why is that this on his thoughts? He talked about considerations of “forces” like “sequelitis,” streaming, and covid that may maintain audiences away. Funnily sufficient, these had been additionally considerations to be raised about The Means of Water in 2022, and look how that went. To his level, although, 2025’s not been the perfect 12 months for franchise: audiences typically bounced on M3GAN 2.0 and Thunderboltsto the purpose Blumhouse admitted it would’ve overestimated interest in its killer cyborg.

Then once more, Wicked: For Good and Zootopia 2 each look able to make a killing on the field workplace over the subsequent few weeks, so we’ll see how Avatar: Hearth & Ash does when it lands on December 19.
