Avatar Sequels
Avatar 2, 3, 4, and 5 were set to begin rolling into theaters starting in 2020, with the sequels to Cameron’s 2009 box office phenomenon initially set to be released nearly back-to-back in theaters. However, Disney has pushed back Avatar 2 to 2021, a year after its original release, but will release a new Avatars sequel every other year following that. Avatar 2 will hit theaters on December 17, 2021, with Avatar 3 following it on December 22, 2023, Avatar 4 on December 29, 2025, and finally Avatar 5 on December 17, 2027.
The “four forthcoming Avatar films, expanding the vibrant world of Pandora, will release on the pre-Christmas weekend every other year beginning in 2021,” Disney announced in a press release. This will ostensibly allow Cameron time to finish up the latter films, which were originally going to come to theaters several years after Avatar 2 and 3 were released. And with Star Wars bringing back its franchise in 2022, it seems like Disney will be alternating a Star Wars movie with an Avatar sequel every year.
Disney Adaptations Get Pushed Too
Disney’s original films aren’t immune to delays. Artemis Fowl, which was initially set to hit theaters in August of this year, has been pushed to May 29, 2020, making fans of the boy genius to wait for the long-awaited adaptation a bit longer. Disney has set a release for its Call of the Wild adaptation for February 21, 2020 as well.
Meanwhile, Disney’s continued slate of live-action adaptations of its animated hits continue to go strong. Mulan maintains its March 27, 2020 while Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is still set to close out 2019 on October 18, 2019.
