James Cameron Prioritizes Avatar's Societal Impact

James Cameron, now 70, has spent the past two decades focused on the Avatar franchise, motivated by a desire to foster empathy and help audiences reconnect with nature rather than merely achieve box office success. He describes the films as a 'Trojan horse,' entertaining but intended to provoke reflection on environmental and societal issues. The first two Avatar movies have collectively earned nearly $5.2 billion globally, but Cameron insists his main goal is to make a positive impact. He acknowledges that films alone can't solve humanity's problems, but believes art is crucial for inspiring hope and connection. While developing other projects like 'The Devils' and 'Ghosts of Hiroshima,' Cameron remains committed to Pandora, with 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' slated for release later this year and additional sequels planned. He intends to direct future installments as long as his health allows.
