James Cameron’s long-awaited science-fiction sequel 'Avatar 2' has been pushed back by another year.

Walt Disney, which acquired the 'Avatar' franchise, said it would release Avatar 2 in December 2021, instead of December 2020.

It also set release dates for three untitled Star Wars movies - December 16, 2022, December 20, 2024 and December 18, 2026

No details for these films were revealed.
