\n\tWhile Avatar: Fire and Ash<\/a> is already halfway to $1B worldwide<\/a> in its first week, James Cameron<\/a> has a contingency plan in place for his massive franchise.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 3x Oscar winner teased his plans for Avatar<\/a> 4 and 5 after the third installment\u2019s premiere, noting that he will \u201chold a press conference\u201d if he decides not to continue the movie franchise, which began in 2009.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI don\u2019t know if the saga goes beyond this point. I hope it does,\u201d he told Entertainment Weekly<\/a>. \u201cBut, you know, we prove that business case every time we go out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCameron added, \u201cHere\u2019s what it is. If we don\u2019t get to make 4 and 5, for whatever reason, I\u2019ll hold a press conference and I\u2019ll tell you what we were gonna do. How\u2019s that?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe writer\/director also noted that, despite there being \u201cno business model for it anymore,\u201d Cameron also wants to novelize the films, noting \u201cit might be good to have the canonical record of what it was all supposed to be.\u201d<\/p>\n
