For anyone who might not be aware, James Cameron has four Avatar sequels planned, and the second and third ones have apparently already finished filming. I’m not sure what the progress is on the remaining two.
Do people here have any expectations for them?

I'm aware. I expect them to have eye popping visuals but flat plots/characters.

I don't even anymore. I was more looking forward to them than the Disney Star Wars. Now it's like meh whatevsalad.
If they can be quality must-see theatrical viewings, good on them.

I'll check out the trailer for the next one. But being as I have glasses now, I probably won't opt for the 3D version.

I think they'll be good, but no masterpieces.

I feel like the time for them has passed. The fist sequel should have been made around 2011 when people still would have cared.
Maybe people will still care, but I think it's far less likely after this long a wait.

I wouldn't expect anyone to care about an Avatar sequel at this point, but no one expected the first Avatar to do as well as it did, and everyone thought Titanic would be a financial disaster. We probably shouldn't underestimate Cameron. |

You have to give credit to Cameron in that he doesn't do anything half-assed. When he takes on a movie, he commits to his vision for it.

The first sequel was supposed to have come out in 2014, but the release date kept getting pushed back because Cameron supposedly wants the technology to be as groundbreaking as possible. That’s the thing that makes me curious. How are these things gonna look?

I'm honestly doubtful he'll even manage to complete them. Cameron is 67 years old. At this rate, it'll take him until his 90s to complete his series. We can forget about ever seeing any other projects from him.

Avatar was a big hit in its day, but it didn't leave much of a long-term impact on pop culture compared to, say, the MCU or the Lord of the Rings movies and it really does feel like these projects have been delayed for far too long at this stage. The moment for the sequels has passed.

I will likely see them but my interest isn’t really there.

I think they are waiting on making 4 and 5 until they see how 2 does at the box office. If it’s a hit 4 and 5 will likely go into production soon after. If it flops than 4 and 5 probably won’t get made.
I think Disney potentially has a chance to dominate the Christmas box office for like the next 10 years. If things go well they can do…
2021 - Spider-Man 3
2022- Avatar 2
2023 - Patty Jenkins Star Wars Movie
2024 - Avatar 3
2025 - Kevin Feige Star Wars movie
2026 - Avatar 4
2027 - taika waititi Star Wars movie
2028 - Avatar 5

Besides working on the Avatar movies, James Cameron recently teamed up with MasterClass where he gives video lessons on filmmaking.

Leonard Maltin Movie Guide Review:
Avatar (2009) - 3 out of 4 stars
"A disabled man takes the place of his late brother in a high-tech, high-stakes mining operation on the planet Pandora: he will climb into the chamber and control his twin's avatar, negotiating peaceful coexistence with the Na'vi population. But he's torn between following the dictates of the scientists, led by Weaver, and the operation's paramilitary leader, zealous officer Lang. Innovative, futuristic fable, set in a rich, computer-generated environment and populated with strikingly designed creatures (performed by actors whose work was then enhanced by animators). Thrilling at times, with a cornucopia of wonders to behold. Cameron's parable about imperialism too often resorts to B-movie clichés and goes on too long, but the visual experience trumps most of its flaws. Oscar winner for Cinematography (Mauro Fiore), Art Direction, and Visual Effects. Also available in 170m. theatrical rerelease version and alternate 178m. edition. 3-D HD Widescreen."
