Avatar franchise star Sam Worthington recently unveiled an exciting update about Avatar 4, shedding light on the forthcoming filming schedule for the next installment in James Cameron's cinematic universe.

The schedule for Avatar 4 production

Worthington disclosed to People magazine that Avatar 4 is poised to commence filming in February, hinting at the grand scale and magnitude of the movie's vision. Despite the second film, 'Avatar: The Way of Water,' having concluded filming and the third installment set to release in 2025, the fourth and fifth sequels are already in the pipeline for production.


Early filming strategy

The intricate CGI employed in crafting the vivid world of Pandora necessitates an extended production timeline. Although Avatar 4 is slated for a December 2029 release, a portion of the movie's initial sequences has already been captured. 

Director James Cameron has orchestrated this strategy, awaiting an in-universe time jump to align with the filming schedule. Worthington's revelation now confirms the readiness for further production.

The extended lead time between filming and release dates is primarily due to the meticulous CGI work required. For instance, Avatar 3's filming wrapped up in December 2020, yet its anticipated release is set for December 2025. 

This extended gap underscores the intricate detailing and post-production efforts essential to render the immersive world of Pandora, promising a visually stunning cinematic experience upon release.
