Filmmaker James Cameron, recently teased fans on the next instalment in the Avatar film franchise

Filmmaker James Cameron, whose latest release Avatar: The Way of Water continues its hit streak at the global box-office, recently teased fans on the next instalment in the film franchise. While attending the Critics Choice Awards, Cameron dropped some nuggets about what fans could expect from Avatar 3, revealing the element of fire and two new cultures would be introduced.

“Fire has a symbolic purpose in the film and there’s a culture that is specifically around that concept. That’s probably saying too much as we speak,” he said.

Cameron added, “You’re going to meet two completely new cultures in the next film. We met the Omaticaya, we met the Metkayina, and you’re going to meet two new cultures in the next film.”

The filmmaker’s wife, Suzy Amis, said, “You need a very secure seatbelt.” Cameron quipped, “It’s a rocket sled.” Helmed by Cameron, Avatar: The Way of Water has crossed the 1 billion USD mark at the global box-office. The film stars Kate Winslet, Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver and Stephen Lang.
