James Cameron opens up about directing the next few Avatar films: ‘I'm not going to rule it out...'
If you thought three Avatar films were plenty, James Cameron has other plans. The Oscar-winning director has confirmed he's ready to take on at least two more sequels, with Avatar 4 and Avatar 5 firmly in his sights. Speaking to Empire ahead of his 71st birthday, Cameron said, 'I'm healthy, I'm good to go. I'm not going to rule it out... I might not be able to do that… [but] if I can, I'll just do it.' James Cameron He acknowledged that directing these films will require energy and stamina over the next 'six or seven years,' but for now, the plan is to stay at the helm of the franchise he launched back in 2009. Cameron also confirmed that the films are already fully written through to the fifth instalment, adding, 'I've got ideas for six and seven, although I'll probably be handing the baton on at that point. Mortality catches up.' While his schedule is stacked — he's also attached to adaptations of Ghost of Hiroshima and The Devils — it's clear that Avatar remains his core focus. However, Cameron does not plan to direct Avatar 6 or 7 himself, despite having already 'cracked' their storylines. For fans who wish Cameron would take on new cinematic worlds, the director had a clear response: 'Why did [George] Lucas keep working in the same thing? Why did [Gene] Roddenberry keep working in the same thing? Because when you connect with people, why would you squander that?' As for what's next, the release calendar is already packed. Avatar: Fire and Ash (previously slated for 2024) will now release on Dec. 19, 2025, followed by Avatar 4 on Dec. 21, 2029, and Avatar 5 on Dec. 19, 2031. If things go as planned, the final film could hit screens 22 years after the original changed moviegoing forever.

Last Updated: Rebecca Romijn opened up about reprising her role as Mystique in Avengers: Doomsday. Rebecca Romijn is set to reprise her iconic role as Mystique in the upcoming Marvel film Avengers: Doomsday. Fans are eager to see her return as the shape-shifting mutant from the blockbuster X-Men film series, and it appears the actress is just as excited. In a recent interview, Romijn spoke about stepping back into the character she originally portrayed in the early 2000s. Reflecting on the opportunity, she described it as both 'unexpected" and 'surreal". 'Very surreal. It was a call that was very unexpected for me and very thrilling," she told PTI.

She reprised the character in X2 (2003), followed by a prominent appearance in X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), which marked her final outing with significant screen time. Romijn later made a brief cameo as Mystique in X-Men: First Class (2011), after which the role was taken over by Jennifer Lawrence.

Rebecca Romijn On Her Future Roles, Having A Motherhood Relevance In the same conversation, Romijn, who is mother to daughters Dolly O'Connell and Charlie Tamara Tulip O'Connell, said that she's increasingly mindful of the roles she takes on. 'I am a mother of girls, and so it's very important to choose roles that are positive role models for my daughters and for other young ladies around the world," she said. She added that being away from her children for long stretches while on location makes this responsibility even more significant. 'I don't take it lightly." She added, 'I want to be proud of the work that I get to come back and show them, especially within the 'Star Trek' and genres of science fiction and comic books. I really enjoy playing female characters that are multifaceted and often just as strong as the male characters. It's important to me." Avengers: Doomsday Cast Apart from Romjin, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Kelsey Grammer, Alan Cumming and James Marsden, Robert Downey Jr. will be seen in Avengers: Doomsday.
