It seems that fans of James Cameron's phenomenal hit "Avatar" will have to wait a little longer for the second sequel of the most impressive sci-fi movie. "A Monster Calls" actor Sigourney Weaver (playing the role of Dr. Grace Augustine) has teased that "Avatar 2" might not be able to hit the theaters next year. Check out the reasons below.
Reports say that the scripts for "Avatar 2" have already been completed. However, filming has apparently not started yet. It usually takes two years to produce a blockbuster movie, and knowing how extremely meticulous James Cameron has been with his previous projects, the highly anticipated "Avatar 2" will unlikely be able to meet the projected December 2018 release.
In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter at the screening of "A Monster Calls" at AMC Lincoln Square, Sigourney Weaver expressed her doubts on the film's 2018 release. The actress confirmed she has already read three of the four sequels' scripts and admitted they have not started filming.

Furthermore, fans can expect more advanced special effects and a grander world of "Avatar." Sigourney Weaver teased that the upcoming "Avatar 2" will be "more extraordinary" than the original movie, which makes her more excited to do the film.
In another interview, Sigourney Weaver revealed the cause of delay for "Avatar 2." The actress told Cinema Blend that James Cameron has been busy developing the new technology required for "Avatar 2." A lot of experiments have been done to figure out how a particular scene will be shot. Cameron is spending much time to prepare well so filming will be done smoothly once they begin production.
Moreover, aside from "Avatar 2," James Cameron is also busy preparing for the other sequels. It will be an extremely busy time for James Cameron as all four sequels will be filmed simultaneously.
"Avatar" has greatly stormed the theaters in 2009, and fans of this high-tech movie are extremely looking forward to its second sequel. Let's just continue to hope that "Avatar 2" will be able to meet its original December 2018 release date.
