James Cameron’s first film released following the end of Avatar 5 has been leaked. Having worked on Avatar and its several successors for the previous decades, the director of The Terminator and Titanic is dedicated to finishing the third, fourth, and fifth chapters of the profitable science-fiction series. While Avatar 4 and Avatar 5 are scheduled for 2029 and 2031 as the narrative of Pandora and the Na’vi progresses, the next Avatar: Fire and Ash is set for a 2025 release.
Deadline says Last Train from Hiroshima will be Cameron’s first film following Avatar 5. Based on Charles Pellegrino’s 2015 book of the same name and his forthcoming book, Ghosts of Hiroshima, both of which feature eyewitness testimonies of Japanese citizens and American pilots who observed the atomic bombs detonated on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II.
Cameron’s film will center on a Japanese guy who survives the atomic bomb detonated in Hiroshima, then takes a train to Nagasaki, and then survives the atomic bomb there as well. Check Cameron’s remarks on the film below:
Over the years, I have been debating how to approach a topic I have wanted to feature in a film. Just days before he passed away, I visited the survivor of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki Tsutomu Yamaguchi He was at the medical hospital. I had to finish as he was passing the baton of his personal narrative to us. I cannot distance myself from it.
What This Means Regarding James Cameron’s Future
Cameron will continue to be busy with the Avatar films for many years to come, but the filmmaker is quite committed to producing Last Train from Hiroshima. Beyond Cameron and his artistic inclinations, this film is significant since after meeting Yamaguchi, Cameron, and Pellegrino committed to “pass on his unique and horrific experience to future generations.

Though work on Avatar: Fire and Ash still has to be done and Avatar 5 not be released until 2031, Cameron will be unable to be totally committed to Last Train from Hiroshima any time soon. Cameron already has a full slate of films to oversee for the next ten years between the Avatar successors and this just confirmed the project. Apart from all these obligations, Cameron also revealed he was working on a draft for Terminator 7, even though that film hasn’t yet been formally greenlit.
Our Take On James Cameron’s First Post-Avatar Movie
Hearing Cameron is dedicated to directing another film beyond Avatar 5 excites me as it is such a horrific and significant true story. I missed having Cameron oversee a greater range of films even though I loved Avatar, and The Way of Water, and will see the sequels. Given the promise James Cameron made Yamaguchi, a film about a survivor of both atomic bombs will be a significant narrative for him to create and offer a far different view of this element of World War II history than Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer.
