The third installment of directorJames Cameron’s smash hitAvataris finally in post-production, but it looks like there’s a long road ahead before we get to return to Pandora again.

The news came as a bit of a shock as fans were expecting the third movie sooner since it was filmed alongside the sequel,Avatar: The Way of Water.However,Disneydid not give a reason for the delay. The good news is that the production team now has two whole years to focus on the stellar CGI and SFX we have come to expect from the Avatar movies, although judging by Cameron’s “hectic” comment, the road to the finish line may not be so smooth.

The upcoming movie remains untitled, but we do know that it willintroduce two new Na’vicultures including a fire tribe, just as the first movie focuses on the forest-dwelling Na’vi known as the Omaticaya and the second film looks at the Metkayina tribe who live on Pandora’s coast.
