Avatar (franchise)

The story focuses on an epic conflict on Pandora, an inhabited Earth-sized moon of Polyphemus, one of three gas giants orbiting Alpha Centauri A. On Pandora, human colonists and the sentient humanoid indigenous inhabitants of Pandora, the Na'vi, engage in a war over the planet's resources and the latter's continued existence. The film's title refers to the remotely controlled, genetically engineered human-Na'vi bodies used by the film's human characters to interact with the natives.

Little is known of the storyline of the second film, but it is known that the film will be set several years after the first and will explore the oceans of Pandora. The film was originally planned for a December 2014 release, but has been delayed several times and is currently scheduled for 16 December 2022. Production began in August 2017. It wrapped in October 2018.[2]

A third film will follow the second, planned for 20 December 2024. Interviews in mid 2010 suggested that the third film would explore more of the Alpha Centauri system, but the script was not completed until late 2015 so this may have changed. While two additional sequels are planned, their release is dependent on the success of the second and third films.

A fourth film is planned for 18 December 2026, with Shane Salerno co-writing it.

A fifth film has been announced and is scheduled for 22 December 2028.Nothing else has been confirmed.

The casting and voice production for Avatar: The Game was handled by Blindlight. A yet untitled sequel was reported to be in production.[8]

Toruk – The First Flight was a Cirque du Soleil touring production set centuries before the events of Avatar, following a young Toruk on Pandora as the Na'vi Entu and Ralu attempt to tame him.
