James Cameron's Avatar sequel has been doing well in cinemas around the world, really, unbelievably well. At the time of writing, Avatar: The Way of Water has managed to climb up to third place among the highest-grossing films in history, and this has obviously given the director a lot of confidence when it comes to the intended sequels.

Now there are rumours that the third Avatar film will get a nine-hour special version, exclusively for Disney+ after it has had its turn in cinemas. This report comes from MovieWeb who claim that Cameron said the sequel will break all previous records when it comes to visual effects and storytelling. The premiere date for Avatar 3 has already been nailed down to December 20, 2024, so this nine-hour long special version will only become relevant sometime in 2025.

Are you looking forward to more Avatar?
