Avatar 3 is going to be a long one! Ahead of the release of the third installment – called Fire and Ash – in the record-breaking franchise, director James Cameron revealed some new details about what to expect for the movie in an interview.

And according to the director, it’ll be even longer than 2022′s The Way of Water, which was 3 hours and 12 minutes long! James told Empire that he and his writers developed too much material for The Way of Water, and when production began, they had to move some of the story from that movie into the upcoming sequel, Fire and Ash. “In a nutshell, we had too many great ideas packed into act one of movie 2,” he said. “The [film] was moving like a bullet train, and we weren’t drilling down enough on character.

So I said, ‘Guys, we’ve got to split it.’” As a result, “movie 3 will actually be a little bit longer than movie 2.” Click through to find out who is expected to return, and who is joining the cast for Avatar 3…
