Disney Delays Release of 'Avatar' Sequels Until 2031 as 'Avatar' Actors Age

The release dates of the three remaining Avatar sequels have been significantly delayed, with Avatar 5 now set to release in 2031.
Zoe Saldana, who plays Neytiri, has reacted with sarcasm to the news she will be 53 when the final film is released.
James Cameron may not direct Avatar 4 or 5 himself, though he remains committed to the franchise he created.
Disney has also delayed and rearranged release dates for upcoming Marvel and Star Wars films.
The delays are intended to allow more time for production as the Avatar sequels continue to set a high bar for visual effects and worldbuilding.
