Jon Landau claimed that “Avatar 4” have already been shot

• Landau confirmed that the first act of Avatar 4 has already been filmed.
• We began hearing tidbits that explained the delay as sequel director James Cameron.
• The blockbuster’s producer, Jon Landau, told in a new interview.

Jon Landau confirmed that the first act of Avatar 4 has already been filmed, but now he’s shared new information that suggests we won’t have to worry about the release schedule—one movie every two years—getting pushed back because all upcoming installments already have a script and Avatar 3 is well underway.

Even while we are aware that Avatar is a massive undertaking that takes years to complete, we couldn’t help but wonder why it took so long over the 13 years between Avatar and Avatar: The Way of Water. We began hearing tidbits that explained the delay as sequel director James Cameron began planning press tours, such as new technology being created specifically for the film. The blockbuster’s producer, Jon Landau, told in a new interview that he conducted while we watched the new movie in IMAX, “The Avatar team was far busier than we imagined.”

Landau outlined the project’s overall planning, praised Cameron’s contributions, and hinted at the franchise’s future:

“What we’ve done is, first of all, we’ve completed all four scripts for 2, 3, 4, and 5. [The cast] read them. They know where their characters go. They know. It informs how they play these scenes. We went out and we shot all of movie 2. We shot 95% of movie 3. We have a little bit that we have to still pick up. And we shot the first act of movie 4. […] I think one of the great things that we’ve done, and Jim has done in these scripts, is each movie is going to take you to new biomes and new cultures. And I think one of the things that Avatar has is this idea of ‘Oel ngati kameie.’ I see you. And it’s not about seeing you for who you physically are, or what you look like. It’s about seeing you from the inside, and the idea that we get to introduce new diverse clans that look different than the Omaticaya, and send a metaphor for our world, and accepting people for who they are on the inside and not judging them by who they are on the outside.”

This implies that while we prepare to make a third trip to Pandora with Avatar 3 in 2024, the film’s production will already be well underway. This is fantastic news for Avatar fans since it implies that we still have a great chance of seeing at least one more film, even in the worst-case scenario that Avatar: The Way of Water isn’t a smash (which is probably not the case).
