Looks like JC is going to make three sequels back-to-back and release them a year apart from December 2016 onwards.

Fox notes that Avatar 2 will be released in December 2016, Avatar 3 will hit theaters in December 2017, and Avatar 4 will follow a year later. Yes indeed, a trio of Avatar films are heading our way beginning in just a few short years.

The fourth possibly being a prequel.

Also more screenwriters!

Fox announced today that not only will Cameron now film three Avatar sequels simultaneously, but he has hired screenwriters Josh Friedman (War of the Worlds), Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver (Rise of the Planet of the Apes), and Shane Salerno (Savages) to collaborate with him on the screenplays in order to “help bring his growing Avatar universe to life and to expedite the process.”
