James Cameron is one of the most legendary visionaries of all time, constantly thinking out of the box to deliver some of the most exceptional pieces of masterwork like hisAvatarfilm series. While the first two flicks in the series are more than enough to emphasize his excellence,Avatar 3seems to boast an even better premise and a fresher turn of events.
As the filmmaker recently claimed, while the second installment in the film series was actually just a rehashed version of the original piece, the third installment would have Cameron breaking the mold. This is because, for this forthcoming piece, the director has made some really brave choices, which he admits are risky but worth it nonetheless.
James Cameron has made some really brave choices withAvatar 3
WithAvatarandAvatar: The Way of Water,James Camerondecided to tread along similar themes as he played safe while bringing back the bioluminescent paradise to global audiences well over a decade after the first film. But now that it has come down to the third film,Avatar: Fire and Ash, the filmmaker has decided to be braver.
To say the least, as he recently admitted in an interview withEmpire, theTitanicdirector is hoping to take viewers to “places they won’t expect, but that will feel earned.” This means that there won’t just be an escalation of action but will bring about a narrative complexity to the saga as well. As Cameron continued to share,
Yeah, we’ve got some really clever action set-pieces. You can get your blood up in this movie. But what excites me as an artist who recently turned 70 and has kind of done all that stuff is not only the opportunity to get to do it again, but to get to a level of character and intrigue you haven’t seen before in an Avatar movie.

That said, while the first two films focused on inviting audiences into the world of Pandora andall the beautiful and diverse elements it beholds, the third film is all set to take the storytelling stakes higher. Things will ostensibly be a lot more out of the box this time around, in Cameron’s own words, “We’re just starting to riff on it and twist it and turn it.”
At the same time, the filmmaker acknowledged the risks attached to the project as well, pointing out how “It’s a tricky thing. We could be getting high on our own supply here, and everybody who looks at it goes, ‘F***, that’s not what I signed up for.’” While that’s that, he also didn’t hesitate to emphasize the need for these brave choices.
If you’re not making brave choices, you’re wasting everybody’s time and money. That alone is not sufficient to create success, but it’s necessary. You’ve got to break the mould every fricking time.
For a filmmaker who quite literally does break the mold every single time, that’s saying something, for even with a not-so-distinct and unusual plotline,Avatar 2still became the highest-grossing masterpiece of 2022 with its $2.3 billion box office gross on a $460 million budget (viaThe Numbers); not to mention its 76% critical and 92% general audience score onRotten Tomatoes.
With that emphasized, it’s unarguable that even the third movie in the film series could be expected to nail it with its performance, even more so now that Cameron has teased diversity.
Fans react to James Cameron’s claims of making a bold decision withAvatar 3
As mentioned before, the first two films played safe so there weren’t really all those dangerous and risky elements in them. But now that James Cameron has decided to take some bold steps with the third installment, it has perked up fans’ expectations and excitement levels. To say the least, they are now busy speculating what breaking the mold this time around could mean.
Taking toX, here’s what some of them have to say:
There’s an inherent trepidation within me before the release of these films, but it’s swiftly overshadowed by their epic grandeur. James Cameron’s track record is impeccable; never underestimate the power of this cinematic maestro.
That’s why these movies are one of the best because he keeps pushing his limits!

While these reactions are something, Cameron’s comments have also been garnering quite a few critical reactions as fans point out how similarAvatar 2was to the first film, which took away the excitement element from it to a considerable extent.

But the director has some words of affirmation for these critics too, as he said while comparingAvatar 3to the process of2, “It’s in strong shape, I think. We’ve doubled the number of shots finished at this stage of the game than we had on movie 2, the films are about equal length. So that puts us well ahead of the curve, which is something I’ve never, frankly, experienced before.”
This time around, the process is “a little bit less nightmarish. We’re getting to the point where we’re actually getting good at this,” as Cameron admitted while continuing to talk about the forthcoming third film. So all fans need to do now is brace themselves for the best, because James Cameron is all set to leave everyone baffled with his upcoming piece.
Avatar: Fire and Ash is currently set to hit the big screens on August 05, 2025.
