James Cameron had big plans for the Avatar series, aiming for five movies total centered on Jake Sully and Natyrie's family saga on Pandora. But after the third one, Avatar, Fire, and Ash hit theaters and earn less at the box office than the first two, Disney execs are now rethinking the whole thing. The last two sequels, with just one partially filmed, might get shelled for good. Originally, the franchise was set to span four sequels after the first, building this epic world. Fire and Ash still raked in massive profits, making the series one of the biggest earners ever, but its weaker performance has everyone questioning if. More is needed.

With three hugely successful films already in the bag, wrapping here lets Avatar bow out strong, avoiding the risk of more lackluster entries that, could tarnish its legacy.
