It's been over a decade since James Cameron's AVATAR hit theaters, and here we are, still awaiting the release of the first of four sequels. Over the years, we've seen more than a few announcements regarding a delay in the AVATAR sequels, and just yesterday, Disney announced that they were pushing back all of the upcoming AVATAR films (as well as the new STAR WARS trilogy) by a full year.

The latest push found AVATAR 2 moving from December 17, 2021 to December 16, 2022; AVATAR 3 moving from December 22, 2023 to December 20, 2024; AVATAR 4 moving from December 19, 2025 to December 18, 2026; and AVATAR 5 moving from December 27, 2027 to December 22, 2028. Will any of us even be alive by then? Although this is far from the first delay that James Cameron has experienced in regards to the AVATAR films, he penned a letter to give his thoughts on the matter. "There is no one more disappointed about this delay than me," Cameron wrote. "But I am buoyed by the incredible performances of our cast and the extraordinary work that Weta Digital is doing bringing the world of Pandora and the characters of the film to life." You can read the rest of Cameron's letter below.
