They have all been delayed a year from their previous schedule. Avatar 3 will now not be releasing for another 2 and a half years.
Disney is delaying the next three "Avatar" movies by a year.
"Avatar 3" has shifted to Dec. 19, 2025; "Avatar 4" to Dec. 21, 2029, and "Avatar 5" to Dec. 19, 2031. Based on this timeline, the final "Avatar" movie is coming 22 years after the original 2009 blockbuster. -

I heard a wild and crazy rumor a couple of months ago that they actually clocked the runtime of "
AVATAR 3
" to be almost 9 hours. I know that James Cameron likes to make long Movies but there is no way that it could be true that "
AVATAR 3
" is almost 9 hours long. -

"[James] Cameron handed in a cut of Avatar 3 last week," Sneider says, before revealing that it runs to a monstrous "nine hours" long. The first Avatar sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, already has a mammoth runtime of 3 hours and 12 minutes, but it’s doubtful that audiences would be able to tolerate sitting in a theater for nine…
Of course, it’s highly unlikely that Avatar 3 will ever come anywhere close to being nine hours long, but Cameron has stated that he wants to complete the movie in its entirety, including all the visual effects work, before cutting it down.
"[Cameron is] insisting on doing the visual effects work for this cut," Sneider reveals, "all nine hours [would] get fully VFX'd" and then the director will "cut it down.”
That means that Avatar 3 is likely to follow in the hugely expensive footsteps of its predecessor, with Cameron completing a nine-hour epic before taking an axe to it and chopping it down to something that general audiences will be able to sit through.
That's crazy. Won't that basically triple the cost and time it takes to finish the movie? Anyway, I am demanding that they release the Cameron cut. -
