Disney's pushback of Avatar 5's release date means that legendary filmmaker James Cameron will be working well past his retirement age.
The new release date for Avatar 5 proves just how ridiculous James Cameron is. The fourth Avatar sequel was previously set to release in 2028, but a revised rollout approach from Disney and director James Cameron will extend the Avatar franchise into the 2030s. Cameron's original Avatar, the highest-grossing movie of all time, premiered back in 2009 with its first sequel Avatar: The Way of Water released in 2022.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Disney announced delays for Avatar 3, 4, and 5 as well as several upcoming Marvel and Star Wars projects. Avatar 5 is expected to change the Na'vi's perspective of Earth and humanity, specifically Neytiri, and will be set in a future timeline from the original trilogy. While little else is known about the plot of Avatar 5, this is not the first time the highly-anticipated sequel has been delayed.
The major delay of Avatar 5 could create opportunities for even more advanced technologies to be implemented into Cameron's filming process. Newer cameras, lenses, computers, software, and even artificial intelligence systems could be utilized because of the film's delayed 2031 release. The new release date could allow for better theater projection systems that will ultimately enhance the viewing experience of Avatar 5.
Don't Expect James Cameron To Retire After Avatar 5 Cameron is not the only acclaimed director working well past his retirement age. Martin Scorsese, who is arguably the most influential American filmmaker who ever lived, will turn 81 just one month after his Killers of the Flower Moon releases worldwide. Ridley Scott will turn 86 years old one week after Napoleon hits theaters in November 2023. George Miller and Steven Spielberg are both still actively working at 78 and 75, respectively.
