It\u2019s OK, we\u2019ll suspend disbelief. We like the characters, but, you know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The phenomenon is more noticeable with adolescent actors who go through extreme changes as they mature. Trinity Jo-Li Bliss was around 7 when she was cast as Tuk in the \u201cAvatar\u201d sequel and has since become a teenager. Similarly, 18-year-old actor Jack Champion plays Spider in the movies and went through big changes since filming began when he was 13, leading Cameron to remark that he\u2019s \u201cgrowing like a weed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The first \u201cAvatar\u201d film came out in 2009, and the third installment is slated for a 2024 release.<\/p>\n<p>During an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-features\/james-cameron-interview-avatar-the-way-of-water-franchise-future-1235271483\/\">interview<\/a> with The Hollywood Reporter, Cameron discussed how risky it was making a sequel more than a decade after the first release. \u201cThere\u2019s skepticism in the marketplace. Can anybody even remember the characters\u2019 names? We\u2019ll see what happens after this film,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The latest installment was a big gamble for Disney, costing more than $350 million in production costs alone. If Cameron completes the intended story, the total amount spent will exceed $1 billion. As of this week, \u201cThe Way of Water\u201d had surpassed $550 million in global ticket sales, but it still hasn\u2019t reached a break-even point or become profitable, Variety <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2022\/film\/news\/avatar-the-way-of-water-box-office-550-million-1235467215\/\">noted<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Producer Jon Landau teased a bit of what the third and fourth \u201cAvatar\u201d movies would include.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach movie is going to introduce audiences to new clans, new cultures on Pandora,\u201d he told EW.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce we introduce a character, they stay a part of the ongoing evolution. We just add to it. So you can expect to see the Metkayina that you meet in this movie in subsequent movies. There are other clans that we\u2019ll introduce in movie 3 that you\u2019ll see in movie 4 and so on and so forth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is all banking on the success of \u201cThe Way of Water,\u201d of course, which is still not guaranteed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While \u201cAvatar 2: The Way of Water\u201d was by no means a guaranteed success, director James Cameron already shot scenes for the third and fourth installments of the franchise.
