"Avatar: The Way of Water" producer Jon Landau revealed Canadian filmmaker James Cameron's plans for "Avatar 5".

In an interview, he noted the installment will feature a major change of setting, the audience will see action on Earth.

The first sequel to 2009's "Avatar" hits cinemas on December 16, with three more Avatar movies already set to release in 2024, 2026, and 2028, respectively. 

"In movie five, the idea is that we would go to Pandora, and we'd return to Earth, but show the juxtaposition," Landau explained.

He continued: "And just like we have something to learn from Pandora, Neytiri's character has something to learn from the people of Earth too. The people of Earth who killed her family, the people of Earth who destroyed her home." 

Earth won't make an appearance in the second, third, or fourth installments of the Avatar franchise.

"By five, you will see action on Earth... because don't we want to juxtapose this verdant, incredible world in its prime with an Earth a couple of hundred years from now that is the result of us if we don’t change?" he added.

The Titanic director recently revealed that he has Avatar 6 and 7 mapped out already, adding that he'd be 89 by then. 

Despite having the future of the franchise mapped out, Cameron had previously shared that Avatar 4 and 5 may not happen unless The Way of Water brings in a substantial amount of money.
