James Cameron will devote the rest of his career to “Avatar” films.

Following the incredible release of ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’, James Cameron has spoken out on several occasions about what’s next, not just in the franchise, but for him as a director. And now, he confesses that he believes the rest of his career behind the cameras could be devoted entirely to the ‘Avatar’ films, and finish the story he has in mind for the saga.

SS Rajamouli, director of ‘RRR’, questioned the director behind ‘Terminator 2’ about his plans for the rest of his career, and James Cameron confessed ‘Avatars’ it could mean the rest of his career: “Avatar is so vast that I can tell most of the stories I want to tell within it and try out many of the stylistic techniques I hope to explore. And second, yes… our time as artists is over. I will always mourn some of the stories I can’t do.

But even if With James Cameron he wants to spend the rest of his career ‘Avatars’, does not close the door to other directors dealing with his film projects: “I get great satisfaction when other directors want to explore some of my ideas, like Kathryn Bigelow did with Strange Days, and Robert Rodríguez when I handed the baton to him in Alita: Battle Angel. I look forward to collaborating with directors I admire in the future.”
