James Cameron has expressed concerns over the profitability of Avatar: Fire and Ash, the latest installment in the Avatar franchise set for release in December. Following his remarks, he hinted that if the film doesn't meet financial expectations, it's possible he may step away from the franchise altogether. Cameron noted the pressure mounting on the film due to factors like pandemic impacts on theater attendance and the perception of sequels. The high production cost raises stakes significantly, with Cameron humorously stating that the film must generate "two metric f**k tons of money" to be considered a success. Sigourney Weaver, who plays Kiri, is also eager for the franchise to continue, revealing that her character will narrate Avatar 4. The franchise has been a massive financial success, with previous entries like Avatar: The Way of Water grossing over $2 billion.

Will Avatar: Fire and Ash lead to more sequels?

It remains uncertain; Cameron has indicated that the film's box office performance will dictate the future of the franchise. If it fails to captivate audiences and generate sufficient profits, he may consider it an endpoint for his involvement with Avatar, while Weaver expresses hope for more films due to her character's significant role in the story.
