James Cameron Says ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ Will ‘Be a Little Bit Longer’ Than ‘The Way of Water’: ‘We Had Too Many Great Ideas Packed Into Act One of Movie Two’


James Cameron says his next 'Avatar' film, 'Fire and Ash,' will be 'a little bit longer' that 2022's 'The Way of Water'

In a recent sitdown with Empire, Cameron said he and his writers developed too much material for “The Way of Water,” and when production began, had to move some of the story from that movie into its sequel, “Fire and Ash.” He didn’t reveal any footage at the time, but he did showcase some concept art, which included giant airships, Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) riding on a banshee and a sneak peek at the Ash People of the Na’vi dancing around a blazing fire pit. Franchise stars Sam Worthington and Saldaña will reprise their characters from the first two “Avatar” films for “Fire and Ash,” returning alongside Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Britain Dalton, Jack Champion, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, Bailey Bass, Joel David Moore, Edie Falco and Dileep Rao.
