Let’s rewind to 2009 for a moment, when James Cameron's Avatar blew the doors off the movie world. Now, fast forward to 2020, and the first sequel is finally set to hit theaters. That’s an awfully long wait, right? Especially when you consider that not one, but two sequels were filmed back-to-back with a reported combined budget of $550 million. And here’s the kicker—there are plans for two more movies! It sounds like a financial gamble, doesn’t it? But actress Sigourney Weaver, who’s right in the middle of it all, isn’t worried one bit.

Maybe Sigourney’s confidence comes from her history with Cameron. After all, she worked with him on Aliens back in 1986 and, of course, the original Avatar. But let’s not forget another little detail: there was a time when people thought Cameron had gone off the rails with Titanic. They even suggested locking him up! And yet, that movie ended up becoming the highest-grossing film in history—until Avatar came along and knocked it down to second place. So yeah, Cameron’s earned the right to take some big swings.

Why Avatar Was Such a Game-Changer

What made the original Avatar so special was its ability to transport audiences to another world. Pandora wasn’t just a place on the screen; it felt like a living, breathing environment. The emotional journey of humans threatening genocide against an alien race added layers of depth that resonated with viewers worldwide. Now, with the sequels, Cameron’s planning to take us even deeper—literally. These new films will explore a water planet, promising to expand the universe in ways we haven’t seen before. While details are being kept under wraps, one thing is certain: this is going to be epic.

Sigourney Weaver’s Take on the Sequels

Sigourney Weaver, who won’t be reprising her role as Dr. Grace Augustine from the first film, spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about what makes these sequels so unique. She believes the water element adds an entirely new dimension to the story. "The water becomes another world," she explained. "The scripts are incredible, and in the first one, Cameron didn’t have the chance to fully set up everything. This time, he gets to tell a deeply personal story. There’s a clear message about not sacrificing everything for greed and conquest. It will take all four movies to really drive that message home for the whole world."
