James Cameron spent 2 years editing 'Avatar 3' before its release

After the movie Avatar: The Way of Water was released and "broke" the global box office, it will be quite a while before the third part of this series hits theaters. Sources say that Avatar 3 was spent a lot of time editing by James Cameron and his crew before releasing the complete version for theatrical release. And Avatar 3 is also one of the projects that this filmmaker spent a lot of time on post-production.

The director confirmed the news on New Zealand television: "We are very excited about the post-production process of Avatar 3 , and the project is expected to be released in theaters by Christmas 2025." This information also confirmed that the project will be delayed by 1 year compared to the previous information - the film will be released in late 2024.

Avatar 3 , along with the previous two installments, changed its release date almost constantly during filming, until the final release.

In late 2022, director James Cameron told Entertainment Weekly that he was filming test scenes for Avatar 3 and Avatar 4 in parallel with the editing of the first part. The content of part 3, according to sources of Variety magazine earlier this year, will introduce a more ferocious Na'vi tribe than the Ash tribe. The filmmaker wants to introduce two new cultures on the planet Pandora, after the two tribes living in the forest and the sea like the first two films.

After Avatar: The Way of Water , filmmakers will introduce the new Na'vi race to the audience.

First released in 2009, after 14 years, the Avatar franchise has released 2 films, with global revenue of 2.92 billion USD and 2.32 billion USD respectively, according to Box Office Mojo. Avatar 4 and Avatar 5 are expected to be released in 2029 and 2031. The 2 main actors who appear throughout the films are Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana. Part 5, according to international sources released at the end of 2022 (the time Avatar: The Way of Water was released), will have a scene where the Na'vi people come to Earth.
