Sam Worthington Drops Hint About Epic Return to Avatar Set
Sam Worthington hints at his return to the set of Avatar, promising an unimaginably grand production Excitement builds as Worthington and his talented team gear up for an epic comeback
The James Cameron Avatar series cast is set to reunite for work on the franchise soon. Sam Worthington, the series star, revealed to People that the cast will be returning to work "in a month," and he expressed that the upcoming production will be significant. "It's going to be bigger than you can even imagine," he said.
Post-production for Avatar 3 is already underway, with a release date set for December 2025. Live-action scenes for Avatar 4, scheduled for 2029, have been filmed, but the remaining work still needs to be completed. James Cameron mentioned that Avatar 3 is proving to be a "much more straightforward" movie to make compared to The Way of Water, due to the pandemic disrupting schedules for the latter film.
The Way of Water, released in December 2022, raked in $2.3 billion at the box office, making it the third highest-grossing movie worldwide of all time, following only Avengers: Endgame ($2.79 billion) and the 2009 original Avatar ($2.92 billion). Cameron's 1997 movie Titanic ($2.26 billion) holds the fourth spot, solidifying Cameron's achievement of having three of the top four highest-grossing movies of all time.
In other news, Ubisoft's Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora received positive reviews upon its release in 2023.

Sam Worthington's promise of an unimaginably grand production has me eagerly anticipating what James Cameron and his team have in store for us. The success of Avatar: The Way of Water has set the bar high, and I can't wait to see how they surpass themselves with the upcoming installments.
The Avatar franchise has captivated audiences with its stunning visuals, immersive world-building, and thought-provoking themes. As a Gen Z fan, I appreciate how the series resonates with our generation's concerns about environmental conservation and the search for meaningful connections in an increasingly digital world. The Avatar universe offers a unique blend of escapism and social commentary that appeals to our desire for both entertainment and intellectual stimulation.
