Today is the grand premiere of James Cameron’sAvatar: The Way of Water,the sequel to the epic sci-fi/adventure film which was hailed to be one of the most phenomenal films in cinematic history. And with the sequel out in cinemas, the director is already working vigorously towards the third installment in the franchise, which is scheduled to hit theatres at the end of 2024.
According to reports, James Cameron apparently submitted a cut for Avatar 3 just last week, one which is approximately 9 hours long. Yup, you read that right. The rumor further claims that theAvatarfilmmaker is adamant about having the entire 9-hour-long cut edited with VFX before he sits to sort it all out.
The VFX team seems to be in for a treat. Or not.

James Cameron Allegedly Gave A 9-Hour-Long Cut ofAvatar 3
WithAvatar 2finally running in theatres,James Cameronhas diverted his focus completely onto the third part of the film which is set to make it to the big screens in 2024. And he has reportedly already“handed in”the cut forAvatar 3which is said to be 9 hours long.
Now the process ahead should ideally involve Cameron sieving through the cut to figure out what parts he’s planning on keeping, after which the said material would then pass for the VFX editing procedure. But of course, it would be unlike Cameron to do something so acutely conventional. So, instead of that, the Canadian filmmaker apparently wants the VFX team to edit the entire 9-hour cut before truncating and consolidating it more conclusively.
