Avatar is back to life! The fourth part is already partially filmed
One of the most anticipated premieres of this year is undoubtedly Avatar: The way of water , which will debut on the big screen on December 16. It will happen more than thirteen years after the first movie in the series was released. It might seem that such a huge gap in the creators’ schedule will make the “three” premiere in the next ten or fifteen years. Nothing could be more wrong! James Cameron not only finalizes the third installment of the series, but also filmed the first act … Avatar 4 !
Such information was provided by the co-producer of the entire series – Jon Landau . During a press conference at the Busan International Film Festival, the 62-year-old, asked about the progress in the work on the popular franchise, replied:
We have completed most of the first act of Avatar 4 . There were many logistical reasons why we had to do this. We’ve already written most of the movie, but still haven’t shot it in full. We only have the first act ready.

Despite the series’ co-producer claiming that making the first act of the film, which is due to debut in 2026, is not much progress, fans may feel at least pleased. After all, in a few weeks’ time, The way of water will have its premiere , and Avatar 3 is in post-production. According to the assumptions of the creators , the “three” should land in theaters in 2024. On top of all this, we must now add the impressive progress made in the work on Avatar 4 . Well, it looks like James Cameron and co will meet the deadlines this time.
The way of water will make its debut in December with a strong message
During the Busan Film Festival, Jon Landau presented to the audience a 15-minute fragment of the The way of water as part of his panel . The 62-year-old was then talking about the technologies that the film crew used to get specific effects and shots. A few moments later, James Cameron appeared in the audience via a video link . During his speech, the director of the entire series talked about the “ecological message” of his latest film and the use of high frames per second in it. Jon Landau concludes.
We were unable to provide viewers with what they saw today, both nine years ago, eight years ago and five years ago. We needed a lot of time to get to the level we represent.

In each subsequent film, we will introduce viewers to new cultures and new areas. However, we do not leave behind places that we have already met.
Additionally, the co-producer of the series drew attention to its inclusiveness . Landau pointed, for example, to the main characters of the Water Being , who are refugees seeking shelter among creatures living in completely different ways.
As filmmakers, we are committed to using our art form in such a way as to encourage people to see things from a different angle. The science fiction genre allows us to create a metaphor for the world around us without ever mentioning it. Because when you mention it, you only reach out to those who are already convinced.
