In an interview with Empire magazine, published on Monday, James Cameron, the writer, director and creator of the Avatar films, revealed his plans for that world, which included him saying that he told Disney he wants to make more Avatar stories using animation. "I said, 'Look, I want to do an animated anthology series that's essentially in the world but stories that you wouldn't have expected from that world'," the Titanic director recalled. "There might even be an animated feature in there - it might be a feature for streaming, or a theatrical feature."

However, the Oscar winner explained how his ideas for Avatar haven't left the drawing board. "We haven't done much with that yet. We're still gathering our stories and that sort of thing," he said. "I've got to find the boutique filmmakers, the animators, that want to do it." Cameron's third Avatar film, Avatar: Fire and Ash, is set to release in theaters on Dec. 19, and the first trailer for it dropped on Monday, is already receiving rave reviews and being called "some of the most beautiful footage I've seen all year." Also on the horizon for Cameron is an unknown 3D project he's working on with Billie Eilish that was announced earlier this month. "So you may have noticed that there are more cameras than usual in here. Basically, I can't say much about it, but what I can say is that I'm working on something very, very special with somebody named James Cameron, and it's going to be in 3D," the singer told the crowd at night one of her Manchester shows.
