Nobody even cares about that movie anymore. It’s no wonder why people were excited to see Endgame become the highest-grossing film, because nobody even remembers Avatar that much.

Though considering Disney’s buyout of Fox, this really isn’t that surprising.

Well, James Cameron was talking about making two AVATAR sequels back when the first one came out, but honestly, it had been so long since there were any talks about it, I was hoping that was a sign that maybe it wasn't going to happen after all.

I heard at one point, there were supposes to be 7 movies in the franchise.

Well, apparently the plot for SPACE JAM 2 has been leaked, and it doesn't really sound like a follow-up to the original SPACE JAM so much as it sounds like a weird combination of Mr. Peabody, JHH, and that episode of ROCKO'S MODERN LIFE where Heffer's brain was sucked into the TV.
