James Cameron has never made it a secret that he wants to do a sequel to Avatar, in fact, at the Global Premiere press conference (video footage here 22mins 25 sec in), Cameron in fact stated that he already has the story for a second and third movies of course using the caveat ‘as long as Fox allow it’ in a round-about way. I think after becoming the highest grossing movie of all time, the men in suits at Fox will be begging him to make another one, or two!

The chaps over at SlashFilm have a source who has told them today that Avatar 2 could already be gearing in up for action.

SlashFilm: According to the source, some behind the scenes technical crew have signed on for three to five year contracts, just in case it runs long.

I think we knew this would happen but this fast? I guess ticket sales say it all and personally, I’d love to see another movie, but will they be returning to earth in the second instalment? I guess we’ll have to wait to find out.

More info as we get it.
