I cannot reveal any further details, as that is not my responsibility. John Jon Landau may be the person to ask, but it's not my role. What I can share is that we began working on this project in 2013, with a fantastic team that has grown over time. We have been creating an expansive world with many fascinating places to explore and things to discover from the start. While I cannot disclose what is to come, I can guarantee that there are many exciting things on the horizon.

As a Gen Z fan, I am thrilled to hear that James Cameron has announced the release date for Avatar 3. The sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, was a massive success, and I am excited to see what Cameron has in store for us with the third installment. I am particularly interested in seeing how he will continue to develop the story of the Na'vi and their struggle against the humans. I am also curious to see how he will use the new technology that has been developed since the release of the first Avatar movie.
The fact that Cameron is sticking to his proposed release date is a testament to his dedication to the Avatar franchise. He is clearly passionate about this story, and he is committed to making it the best it can be. I am confident that Avatar 3 will be another huge success, and I can't wait to see it when it comes out in 2025.
