Avatar sequel delayed

Fans waiting for the sequel to James Cameron's “Avatar” may be disappointed as the film's sequel will release later than expected. The movie won't be ready for its previously-scheduled Christmas 2017 release, reports TheWrap.
The news comes just a month after the director said that the production team targeted the holiday release date. There is no new release date set for the film, and in fact, the previous release date was never officially confirmed by 20th Century Fox.

Soundstage construction and some computer animation work for the project is still in the early stages. Furthermore, a start date for filming “Avatar 2” has not been set yet.

Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana will reprise their roles as Jake Sully and Neytiri. Sigourney Weaver is also set to return but she will play a new character. 

James Cameron has indicated that the sequel to “Avatar” may be set on a moon of the planet Pandora and underwater.
