Will James Cameron make Avatar 4 and 5?

It has been long rumoured that James Cameron may step back from directing the Avatar movies after the third installment. During the promotions of Avatar: Fire And Ash, the director said that whether or not Avatar 4 and 5 will be made, despite the scripts being written, depends on how much business the latest movie does, as self-admittedly, each film costs a lot to make. In a new interaction, Cameron talked about what he plans on doing if Avatar 4 and 5 are not greenlit.

"I don't know if the saga goes beyond this point. I hope it does. But, you know, we prove that business case every time we go out. "Here's what it is. If we don't get to make 4 and 5, for whatever reason, I'll hold a press conference and I'll tell you what we were gonna do. How's that?" the director shared.
