The movie has dominated the box office since it was released in December of last year. It is only a matter of time before the movie reaches $2 billion, because it has dominated the box office during the month. The science fantasy series will play out in full, because of that.
On this week's Who's Talking to Chris Wallace, he said that "we're going to be okay" as Way of Water seems poised to reach that $2 billion benchmark, and that he's prepared to make the fourth movie in the series. "It looks like I can't wiggle out of this, I'm going to have to do these other sequels." He said that he expects to meet with Disney regarding the 3rd movie in the series. I know what I will be doing over the next few years.
Some of the footage from the fourth movie has already been shot to avoid the younger actors aging up between films, as was the case with the third movie. The fourth and fifth films were scheduled for late December releases some time ago, so his plan makes sense. With the box office numbers showing it, it has definitely paid off. At this time, we have begun a franchise. The saga can now play out over many films.
The Ash People, the franchise's first Na'vi villains, will be included in the third film. The four elements are water, earth, fire, and air from when the four nations were in harmony. Jon Landau has said that he wants the series to go to Earth because of how faring the planet is. It looks like the franchise will keep on, unless something really goes wrong and another director is not found soon.
The Hollywood Reporter has a story on it.
