Avatar 2 Will Blow Past Expectations: It's What James Cameron Sequels Do
The bar could not be higher for Avatar: The Way of Water, but James Cameron has proved, more than once, that he knows how to deliver on a sequel. While the filmmaker has been involved in a few different projects over the last decade, such as Terminator: Dark Fate and Alita: Battle Angel, Avatar 2 will be the first feature film directed by James Cameron since 2009's Avatar.

Still, the long windows between releases are a testimony to Cameron's dedication to telling the story he has in mind, even if it takes more than a decade to make it happen.
