As filmmaker James Cameron continues developing Avatars 2, 3, and 4, franchise star Sam Worthington gave an update on the upcoming sequels, revealing that production will begin this time next year.

"They are still writing it," the actor told the Fitzy & Wippa show on NovaFM. "We are going to start this time next year, and we will do two, three and four. In one shot, we'll do them simultaneously. I'll be grateful if it finishes."

    Doubt any of those will arrive on schedule. If any, maybe the first. Avatar 4 will come out by the time I'm starting my own family

    Likely conceptualizing new tech. James Cameron doesn't just make movies for the sake of making them. He makes movies to help revolutionize the way they're being made with new tech and new methods and push filmmaking forward. Look through his resume, all of his movies innovated a lot of new methods from the use of innovative special effects to the structure & presentation of actions set pieces.

    I don't mind that he's making an Avatar 2 but I do wish he would just go ahead and make Battle Angel Alita finally instead of making Avatar 3 and Avatar 4. He's not getting any younger and he usually takes years between movies.
