Film-maker James Cameron_ in a recent dialogue with actor Arnold Schwarzenegger on the latter s YouTube channel_ revealed that the shooting for Avatar 2 has been completed. he also revealed that the third installment_ which was being shot back-to-back_ is done 95% too. So where we are right now_ I m down in New Zealand shooting. We re shooting the remainder of the live-action. We ve got about 10% left to go. We re a 100% complete on Avatar 2 and we re sort of 95% per cent complete on Avatar 3_ he said. Talking about the hassles the production faced due to the Covid-19 outbreak_ Cameron clarified that while the release is delayed_ shooting still had to be on schedule. Well_ Covid hit us like it hit everybody. We lost about four and a half months of production. As a result of that_ we ve rolled around one more full year for a release in December of 2022_ he said. That s been announced already. Now that doesn t mean I have an extra year to finish the film_ because the day we deliver Avatar 2_ we ll just start working on finishing Avatar 3. Cameron added that it was fortunate for him and his crew that they decided to film the Avatar sequels in New Zealand_ like the original. New Zealand s response to the coronavirus outbreak has been exemplary and this allowed the Titanic director and his team to get on with filming in a safe environment. So we re very lucky in that we chose this as our production site years ago. We made the first film here in New Zealand and it turns out_ it s ranked either first or second-best country in the world for its Covid response. We are able to operate and live a normal life here. So we are very fortunate_ he said. Avatar 2_ the first of the four sequels_ is set to open in theaters on December 16_ 2022.
