Canadian filmmaker James Cameron has long harbored plans to make five Avatar movies.
The first sequel to 2009's "Avatar" is due to hit cinemas next month, and three more Avatar movies are already set to release in 2024, 2026, and 2028, respectively.
In a new interview, the filmmaker said he already has plans for the future of the Avatar franchise beyond the confirmed releases.
Cameron said that he has five or six more movies in him — three of which will likely be Avatar movies.
The Titanic director also revealed that he has Avatar 6 and 7 mapped out already, adding that he'd be 89 by then.
"Obviously, I'm not going to be able to make Avatar movies indefinitely," Cameron told The Hollywood Reporter, citing the "amount of energy required."
To continue his legacy and the story of Na'vi, the Terminator director said that he would have to train somebody.
"I don't care how smart you are as a director, you don't know how to do this," he noted.
The 68-year-old director recently revealed that the initial ideas for the Avatar franchise came to him in a dream when he was only 19 years old.
After he had the dream, he decided to do some drawings that became really early concepts of the highest-budget movie of all time.
Cameron also knew it wouldn’t be an easy project to bring to life, so first, he had to establish himself as a hitmaker before a studio would trust him to tell the story of blue aliens fighting for their homeland, Pandora.
