Following which "Avatar 3" is scheduled for December 2020 followed by "Avatar 4" in December 2022 and last one will release in December 2023.

According to Independent UK, Cameron also admitted that like many other writers he indulged in overwriting the story for "Avatar" series, which was originally meant to be only a trilogy. In addition, Cameron added that even his writing team ended up overwriting the upcoming sequels.

The sequels will be elaborated in four films and the studio is happy with it, as they will have the opportunity to make more money with them. Cameron also revealed about the destiny of the character played by Stephen Lang in the first movie, Colonel Quaritch.

Cameron believes that he will become the Darth Vader of the "Avatar" franchise. The character of Lang will be reprised in the upcoming sequels and the resurrection of Quaritch will lead to many twists and turns in the movie plot.

In his interview with CinemaBlend, Lang revealed that reviving Quaritch's character after his death was not on his mind. However, since Cameron wished to resurrect him, he now feels that the character can do much more than he did in the first film. Lang further said that he shares a good working relationship with Cameron and may be that is why his character has got to evolve more in sequels.

He is now working hard for not just one sequel but four upcoming sequels of the fantasy flick "Avatar."
