James Cameron has confirmed that Avatar 4 will feature a significant multi-year time jump, moving the story forward once the "younger" generation of the Sully family reaches adulthood. Because the first act was filmed simultaneously with the previous sequels to avoid the "Stranger Things effect" (where child actors age faster than the story), the mid-film jump will allow the narrative to shift into a new era for Pandora. Cameron explained that this skip is essential for the characters to grow into their roles as the next leaders of the Na'vi. 📸: IMDB
