The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a massive reshuffle in Hollywood release dates but filmmaker James Cameron is still confident that his much-awaited "Avatar 2" will release as planned. "Avatar 2" is currently slated for a release on December 17, 2021.

"I want to get back to work on ‘Avatar', which right now we're not allowed to do under state emergency laws or rules. So it's all on hold right now," Cameron said, speaking to Empire for the new Celebration Of Cinema issue. The filmmaker shared that he was scheduled to take the filming to New Zealand before the lockdown.
