After over ten years, fans of Avatar were thrilled to receive the long-awaited Way of Water, the second installment in the blockbuster franchise. James Cameron recently shared that he is deeply immersed in the "very hectic" post-production of the third Avatar film, which may not have a final title as previously mentioned.
Neither the acclaimed director nor Disney are prepared to unveil the title for Avatar 3, but it appears that they are abandoning the previously rumored subtitle of Seed Bearer, as well as the associated names like Tulkin Rider and the Quest for Eywa.
In an interview with ComicBook, Avatar producer Jon Landau stated that the titles for the upcoming films were never final at the time of the announcement. Speaking at an Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora video game event, Landau confirmed that the title for Avatar 3 is not yet determined, despite what may be stated on his Wikipedia page, and that it would be changed soon.
A year after the title reveal, Cameron told Entertainment Tonight in 2019 that the titles were placeholders. He said, "I can neither confirm nor deny--alright, here's what I'll tell ya: Those titles are among titles that are in consideration. And no final decisions have been made yet." Despite the unnamed Avatar sequels, Disney is committed to the franchise, and Cameron is reportedly working on the films as originally planned, with a potential release date in the next decade.
Editor's P/S
As a hard fan of the Avatar franchise, I was initially excited about the rumored title "The Seed Bearer" for the third installment. The name seemed to suggest a continuation of the themes of nature and spirituality that were central to the first two films. However, the recent news that the title is not final and may be changed has left me feeling a bit disappointed. I understand that the filmmakers want to keep the details of the upcoming films under wraps, but I can't help but feel curious about what the final title will be and what it might reveal about the story.
Despite my disappointment about the title change, I remain optimistic about the future of the Avatar franchise. James Cameron has proven himself to be a master storyteller, and I trust that he will deliver another visually stunning and emotionally engaging film with Avatar 3. I am also excited about the potential for future sequels, which could further explore the world of Pandora and its inhabitants. Overall, I am a loyal fan of the Avatar franchise and will eagerly await any news and updates about the upcoming films.
