What’s Next For TheAvatarFranchise?
As things now stand, it has become absolutely clear that all these years of the franchise staying relevant through one film alone did nothing in terms of making the whole franchise any less desirable. And so, with the release ofAvatar: The Way Of Water,Cameron also revealed the production of another three films that will be next in line for the audiences to indulge themselves in. It was earlier said that if the movie underperformed, the series will end at the third installment, but with a performance like this, it doesn’t seem like this will be the case.
