PotentialAvatarsequels could eventually bring the action to Earth.

During a recentinterview with io9, producer Jon Landau confirmed that thealready-planned-but-not-guaranteedfifth entry would feature “a section of the story where we go to Earth” along withZoe Saldaña’s Na’vi character Neytiri.

“I wasn’t going to talk about it, but I’ve now subsequently heard that Jim has talked about it a little bit,” Landau said. “In movie five there is a section of the story where we go to Earth. And we go to it to open people’s eyes, open Neytiri’s eyes, to what exists on Earth.”

Landau went on to explain that a future plotline in theAvatarfranchise would involve Neytiri coming to understand that not all humans from Earth are part of the organization in the film dead-set on mining her home planet Pandora for its natural resources.

While the third and fourthAvatarmovies arewell on their way toward finalizing production, Cameron’s vision forAvatar 5largely depends on the success of the new filmWay of Water. Landau explained that the series wants to take its time before it potentially takes Neytiri all the way to Jake Sully’s (Sam Worthington) home world.

“I think right now we want each movie to do exactly what the first movie did,” he told io9. “We want [audiences] to go, ‘Wow. Where else could they go? They just showed us everything on Pandora.’ "

“Then you go, ‘Holy cow. They’re going to the oceans. Wow. The oceans are amazing.’ Okay, that’s over. Where can it go? Same thing from an emotional story,” he added.

Landau added that theAvatarproduction team wants “people to come out of this movie with an emotional resolution that both calls for a yearning to go back to those characters and to the world” afterWay of Water.

“Obviously, I’m not going to be able to makeAvatarmovies indefinitely,” Cameron said, citing the “amount of energy required.”

To continue his legacy and the story of the Na’vi, theTerminatordirector said he “would have to train somebody”: “I don’t care how smart you are as a director, you don’t know how to do this.”
