James Cameron's "Alien" sequel officially returns with 2027 release date

Full text

One thing that sets James Cameron apart from other filmmakers is his quality-over-quantity approach — Cameron has only directed three movies in the last 16 years, but each earned over $1 billion and is one of the highest-grossing movies of all time. Cameron has focused primarily on developing the Avatar franchise in the last 20 years, but now that the future of the series has been called into question, he could be ready to dive into other projects after spending so much time on Pandora. However, while many modern audiences have connected to Cameron through his work on the hit sci-fi franchise, he’s been directing acclaimed hits for 40 years now. Avatar: The Way of Water may have grossed over $2 billion at the box office, but Cameron has another sci-fi sequel that’s even more iconic than his long-awaited return to Pandora.
