American diversified multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate Disney has shifted the release dates of all the sequels to James Cameron’s “Avatar” movies and “Star Wars” franchise by a year’s time.
All is because of the coronavirus pandemic that has badly hit the entertainment industry to the core.
James Cameron wrote on Instagram that “There is no one more disappointed about this delay than me. What most of you likely don’t know is that the pandemic is still preventing us from being allowed to recommence most of our virtual production work on stage in Los Angeles. That work is just as critical to the films as the live-action work.”
So now, Avatar 2 will release on December 16, 2022, instead of December 17, 2021.
Thus, it will be pushing the remaining parts of the movies by a year’s time by making Avatar 5 releasing in 2028.
As coronavirus cases are increasing daily, theatres in the US and the remaining world has been shutdown.
Disney has also moved the release date of Mulan, which was earlier to release on 21 August.
