James Cameron has warned fans that the forthcoming Avatar: Fire And Ash might not be what they “signed up for”.The title for the third film in the franchise was announced last August and is set for release on December 19, following 2009’s Avatar and sequel Avatar: The Way Of Water, which was released in 2022.Speaking about the latest instalment, in a new interview with Empire magazine, Cameron said his goal isn’t to replicate what was done in the previous two films but instead to make “brave choices” that might not necessarily be expected.He said: “It’s a tricky thing.

We could be getting high on our own supply here, and everybody who looks at it goes, ‘Fuck, that’s not what I signed up for.’ But if you’re not making brave choices, you’re wasting everybody’s time and money.

That alone is not sufficient to create success, but it’s necessary. You’ve got to break the mould every fricking time.”Cameron also revealed that audiences can look forward to high-intensity situations, noting that while they may get taken to “places they won’t expect,” those places “will feel earned.”He added: “We’ve got some really clever action set-pieces.

You can get your blood up in this movie. But what excites me as an artist who recently turned 70 and has kind of done all that stuff is not only the opportunity to get to do it again, but to get to a level of character and intrigue you haven’t seen before in an Avatar movie.”As for the current progress of the movie, Cameron went on: “It’s in strong shape, I think.
