Sam Worthington updates on ‘Avatar 3’ progress

Sam Worthington, star of the Avatar franchise, recently provided a production update for the much-anticipated ‘Avatar 3.’

Following the monumental success of James Cameron's original ‘Avatar’ in 2009 and its hit sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, in 2022, plans for additional entries in the series have been solidified. Originally slated for a December 2024 release, ‘Avatar 3’ is now expected to hit theatres in December 2025, continuing the story of the Sully family.

In an interview with ExtraTV at the premiere of ‘Horizon: An American Saga’, Worthington confirmed that pick-up filming for ‘Avatar 3’ is ongoing. "They’re still filming. They’re down in New Zealand filming more of three. I think I go in tomorrow to do some more, so yeah we just keep going," Worthington shared.
