The
much-anticipated
release
of
the
sequel
to
animated
hit
2009
fantasy-sci-fi
drama
Avatar
has
been
kept
on
hold
yet
again,
and
according
to
the
director
James
Cameron,
it
will
not
be
probably
releasing
in
2018
as
expected
earlier.
Cameron
also
explained
the
reason
for
the
delay
and
said
that
the
entire
team
is
working
on
multiple
projects
based
on
its
all
four
sequels
simultaneously,
and
therefore
they
are
not
sure
about
when
will
they
get
to
confirm
a
release
date
for
the
second
sequel
in
the
line.
"Well,
2018
is
not
happening.
We
haven't
announced
a
firm
release
date," said
the
Oscar-winning
film-maker
about
the
probable
release
of
Avatar
2.
"What
people
have
to
understand
is
that
this
is
a
cadence
of
releases.
So
we're
not
making
'Avatar
2.'
We're
making
'Avatar
2,'
3,
4
and
5.
It's
an
epic
undertaking." James
Cameron
said
in
a
statement.
Cameron
added
that
to
complete
one
single
movie
Avatar,
it
took
them
about
four
years,
and
as
now
they
are
working
on
it
all
four
sequels
it
is
consuming
time
along
with
huge
effort
from
the
entire
team.
"It
took
us
four-and-a-half
years
to
make
one
movie
and
now
we're
making
four.
We're
full
tilt
boogie
right
now,"
Cameron
added
further.
