James Cameron is at a crossroads with his Avatar franchise<\/a>. The latest chapter in the series, Avatar: Fire and Ash, recently crossed the $500 million mark<\/a> on Christmas Day, but without knowing how much more the movie will make during its theatrical run, it\u2019s challenging to know what the future holds. Previously, Cameron said he would end the series after the third installment if Fire and Ash didn\u2019t make enough money. This conundrum puts Avatar 4 and Avatar 5 in stasis, and Cameron is busy making plans for both the success and premature end of Avatar.<\/p>\n

James Cameron on the future of the Avatar franchise<\/p>\n

While speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Cameron said he will hold a press conference to reveal the plot details of Avatar 4 and Avatar 5 if the franchise ends after Avatar: Fire and Ash<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if the saga goes beyond this point. I hope it does,\u201d Cameron told Entertainment Weekly<\/a>. \u201cBut, you know, we prove that business case every time we go out\u2026 If we don\u2019t get to make 4 and 5, for whatever reason, I\u2019ll hold a press conference and I\u2019ll tell you what we were gonna do. How\u2019s that?\u201d<\/p>\n

Could Avatar 4 & Avatar 5 become novels?<\/p>\n

Previously, Cameron said he could novelize the remaining plot of his Avatar franchise, even if that\u2019s not what fans of the film franchise would prefer. It\u2019s better than nothing, right?<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s so much culture and backstory and lateral detail in these characters that\u2019s been worked out. I\u2019d love to do something that\u2019s at that level of granular detail,\u201d Cameron said about turning his Avatar 4 and Avatar 5 scripts into books.<\/p>\n

Cameron spoke to Variety about Avatar 4 and Avatar 5, admitting that plans for the sequels are unknown, saying, \u201cWe\u2019re getting ahead of ourselves.\u201d He then added, \u201cWe\u2019ve got to make some money with this one [Fire and Ash]. Every time we go out, we have to prove this crazy business case yet again. The world has changed. We all know the stats, where theatrical is. It\u2019s been a bad year. It\u2019s starting to perk up a little bit with a couple of recent releases: \u2018Wicked: For Good\u2019 has done well, and \u2018Zootopia 2\u2019 is doing well. So, we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n
