Avataras a franchise, has existed for 15 years. With two episodes to go, James Wan, best known for his direction The incantation, says he enjoys directing.
“I didn’t do Avatar,” he says Screen Rant, “Yeah, if you could think of a good one for me with James Cameron, I’d love to give it a try.”
But James Cameron may not be ready to pass the baton just yet. “Absolutely not,” he told Matt Belloni in response to whether he would hand the franchise over to another director.
He further shared, “I don’t think there will ever be a version where there’s another Avatar movie that I didn’t painstakingly produce. But in terms of taking over my life, you know, that’s a threshold issue for me.”
However, the Titanic director says he is open to leaving the franchise if Fire and Ash does not deliver the expected box office performance.
“I’ve been in Avatar land for twenty years. Thirty years actually, because I wrote it in ’95, right, but I didn’t work on it continuously for the first ten years,” he continued.
There was a brief surge of interest in ’95, and then everyone said, “You’re crazy,” and I put it aside for ten years, and then we got serious in 2005. Yeah, absolutely. Of course, if this is where it ends, cool.”
Avatar: Fire and Ashes, has now crossed the billion dollar mark at the global box office, which is expected to lead to a path to Avatar 4, which is set to hit theaters on December 21, 2029.
