Avatar sequels in production for a long time, as well as upcoming Star Wars films, have been delayed by a year, Disney announced through a Variety report. Director James Cameron commented on the announcement stating that the delay was due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Sequels directed through Cameron to the Avatar of 2009 will now be released every December 2nd, at which point access will come on December 16, 2022. This means that Avatar 3 will debut on December 20, 202four; Avatar four will be released on December 18, 2026; and Avatar five will premiere in theaters on December 22, 2028.
“Before COVID-19, everything was on track to bring them the first sequel in December 2021,” Cameron continued. “Unfortunately, because of the effect of the pandemic on our program, it is no longer imaginable that we set this date.”
Disney’s Christmas superproduction release schedule has reversed as cinemas like AMC continue to face reopening amid the coronavirus outbreak. Many expanding films, adding Disney’s Mulan and Christopher Nolan’s Tenet, have been rejected as cinemas find the safest way to reopen viewers. In fact, Mulan has just been completely removed from the publishing calendars.
