Ever wonder what it takes for a filmmaker to fully inhabit a universe for nearly three decades? Well, James Cameron’s been doing just that, immersing himself in the lush world of Avatar with such dedication it’s tempting to think he’s found a secret cosmic alignment between his creative stars and the Pandora skies. With the planetary vibes of persistence and vision in full swing today, it’s no surprise Cameron sees his cinematic saga not just as entertainment, but a heartfelt mission—something that reconnects us to nature and even to parts of ourselves we might’ve lost along the way. Sure, he’s aware movies aren’t a magic wand for human woes, but he cleverly calls Avatar a “Trojan horse,” slipping crucial messages into dazzling adventures that sneak right into our brains and hearts. And just when you thought he might rest on his laurels, Cameron’s revving up to direct not one but two more sequels, all while gearing up for totally different projects that are as wildly ambitious as Avatar itself.

James Cameron has devoted decades to expanding the Avatar franchise, sidelining nearly every other project in the process. In fact, you’d have to go back almost 30 years to find the last non-Avatar film he directed. That’s an extraordinary amount of time to pour into a single series, but the director told Rolling Stone that he’s justified the choice by believing that the films have done some good, beyond just making a boatload of money.
“I’ve justified making ‘Avatar’ movies to myself for the last 20 years, not based on how much money we made, but on the basis that hopefully it can do some good,” Cameron said. “It can help connect us. It can help connect us to our lost aspect of ourself that connects with nature and respects nature and all those things.“
He continued, “Do I think that movies are the answer to our human problems? No, I think they’re limited because people sometimes just want entertainment and they don’t want to be challenged in that way. I think ‘Avatar’ is a Trojan horse strategy that gets you into a piece of entertainment, but then works on your brain and your heart a little bit in a way.“
After the release of Avatar: Fire and Ash later this year, Cameron is finally ready to move on to some non-Avatar projects, including The Devils and Ghosts of Hiroshima, but he’s not done with Pandora yet, not by a long shot. He recently said he’s feeling up to directing Avatar 4 and Avatar 5 himself after previously hinting that he might pass the projects to another director. “There’s no reason not to,” he said. “I’m healthy, I’m good to go. I’m not going to rule it out. I mean, I’ve got to make it in a vigorous way, to handle the kind of volume and energy of the work for another six or seven years. You know what I mean? I might not be able to do that… [but] if I can, I’ll just do it.“
Avatar: Fire and Ash will hit theaters on December 19.
