Avatar Sequels Forced To Shut Down Production Due To Coronavirus

Avatar came out in 2009. Director James Cameron talked about his ambitious, multi-film sequel plans for years before finally starting production on them in September 2017. According to The Hollywood Reporter, filming in New Zealand has been halted due to the country's attempts to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

Cameron is working on four (!) Avatar sequels simultaneously. Filming was scheduled to be complete on all four by the end of 2020. Production isn't stopping completely. Wellington-based Weta Digital will continue to work on visual effects for the films, reportedly budgeted at $1 billion.

Avatar 2 is currently set to be released December 17, 2021, with the following sequels in December 2023, 2025, and 2027. No word yet on what these production delays will mean for that release schedule.
