Will there be an Avatar 4? Sigourney Weaver's latest comment sparks hope

While promoting the theatrical release of Avatar: Fire and Ash, Sigourney Weaver shared a significant detail that confirms Avatar 4 is not only planned but has a defined narrative structure.

During an interview with Jake Hamilton for Jake’s Takes, Weaver revealed that her character, Kiri, will serve as the narrator for Avatar 4. This is a major change for the series; while Jake Sully narrated the first two films, Lo’ak takes the reins for the third, and Kiri’s perspective will guide the fourth installment.

Weaver noted that she has held onto this secret for roughly 12 years, dating back to when James Cameron first mapped out the overarching saga in 2013.

Sigourney Weaver Confirms Kiri as the Narrator for Avatar 4

In a series of recent interviews during the global press tour for Avatar: Fire and Ash in December 2025, Sigourney Weaver dropped a narrative bombshell that has fundamentally shifted fan expectations for the franchise's future.

The revelation came when Hamilton asked about the evolving perspective of the series. Weaver casually remarked:

"Well, I narrate the next one, 4. It's a major part of the saga for Kiri."

Notably, the most surprising part of Weaver's comments was the timeline of this secret. When asked when she first learned of this plan, she admitted:

"Oh, like 12 years ago."

This places the decision around 2013, shortly after the first film's massive success led Cameron to map out the entire multi-film saga. However, in a separate conversation with IGN, she confessed to being "in denial" about the franchise ever ending. She emphasized that while the scripts for Avatar 4 and 5 are ready and parts of 4 are already filmed, the completion of the saga still rests on the fans. She stated:

"If everybody really goes to see the movie... we will get to make it."

James Cameron, the creator of the Avatar movies, has been very honest about whether we will actually see Avatar 4 and 5. In a recent podcast interview, Cameron explained that these movies are incredibly expensive to make. He joked that because they cost a "ton of money," they have to make a "two-ton profit" just to be worth the effort.

He made it clear that if the current movie, Avatar: Fire and Ash, doesn't make enough money at the box office, the studio might not want to pay for the next two. Despite these "what-if" scenarios, Cameron's personal passion for the project remains high. He recently shut down rumors that he might hand the director’s chair to someone else for the final films. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, he stated:

"I mean, they’re going to have to stop me. I’ve got plenty of energy, I love doing what I’m doing. Why would I not? ... If I get hit by a bus and I’m in an iron lung, somebody else is going to do it, but they’re cracking stories. They’ve got to get made."
