Director James Cameron said Wednesday in New Zealand that he's pushing the next Avatar film back to 2017, as he's not yet completed the scripts for the next three Avatar films, which will be produced simultaneously. The first of the three planned Avatar sequels had been slated to premiere at Christmas 2016. Now it's looking like Christmas 2017 instead.
The first phase of Disney's "World of Pandora" Avatar land is also slated to open in 2017, so it now appears possible — indeed, likely — that the Avatar attractions will open before the sequels, unless Disney decides to hold back on the opening until 2018 to take advantage of the promotion around the new films. On the flip side, having the sequels delayed by a year might allow Disney to open the new land under less pressure, as there likely won't be as much public attention on the franchise before the films come out.
In case you're wondering what will be in Disney's Avatar land, we leaked the blueprints for the centerpiece 3D "Soarin'"-like ride in late 2013. Disney broke ground on the site of the old Camp Mickey-Minnie a year ago, and construction's gone vertical on the new show buildings.
