Responding to whether the technology could return, he added, “I think it could, but I can’t say because the home viewing experience is fundamentally different than the theatrical experience.”

The first of four sequels in the Avatar franchise is slated to hit the theaters on Dec. 16 and will be three hours long. During an interview withEmpirein July, Cameron spoke about concernssurrounding the duration of the film.
“I don’t want anybody whining about length when they sit and binge-watch [television] for eight hours,” Cameron told the outlet.
