The blockbuster release of Avatar meant that a sequel would soon be on its way. But director James Cameron is known for his passion towards technology. The perfectionist director took his time to release the next installment because he wanted to get the CGI look of underwater right, and Avatar: The Way of Water’s pre-production and production were delayed several times. Cameron was ready with the scripts, though, and filming finally began in 2017 and was released in 2022.
