Good news Avatar fans as James Cameron himself gave some updates on the upcoming Avatar sequel and he hints that Avatar 2 shooting would start soon after the script gets done.

Speaking in a recent Reddit AMA, Cameron gave an update on the scripts for Avatar 2, Avatar 3 and Avatar 4, assuring fans that pre-production for all of them is in full swing.

"The second, third and fourth films all go into production simultaneously. They're essentially all in preproduction now, because we are designing creatures, settings, and characters that span all three films. And we should be finished with all three scripts within the next, I would say, six weeks.

"There's always pressure, whether it's a new film or whether it's a sequel, to entertain and amaze an audience. I've felt that pressure my entire career, so there's nothing new there. The biggest pressure I feel right now is cutting out things I love to get the film down to a length that is affordable. There hasn't been a problem finding new and wonderful things to include in the movie."

Cameron implied that he plans to film scenes for Avatar 3 and Avatar 4 at the same time as the Avatar 2 shooting is happening, rather than producing each movie in succession, which could make for a strong tie between the plots of the three sequels. Zoe Saldana, Sam Worthington and Stephen Lang will all reprise their roles in all three of the sequels, which suggests that Avatar 2-4 will have one huge over-arching story rather than being a series of standalone tales set on Pandora.

Avatar 2 release date is targetted to be released this 2016.
