Avatar director James Cameron is following The Way of Water far away from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The Oscar-winning Titanic helmer criticized MCU and DC productions — with Avatar and Guardians of the Galaxy actress Zoe Saldaña participating in the same conversation — in a recent interview with the The New York Times pegged to his upcoming blockbuster sequel.
Responding to a question about how fatherhood has changed his approach to moviemaking, the 68-year-old filmmaker said having children pushed his perspective to new places.
"I also want to do the thing that other people aren't doing. When I look at these big, spectacular films — I'm looking at you, Marvel and DC — it doesn't matter how old the characters are, they all act like they're in college,
" he said during the video conversation, which the Times noted also included Avatar actors Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, and Saldaña.
He continued, "They have relationships, but they really don't. They never hang up their spurs because of their kids. The things that really ground us and give us power, love, and a purpose? Those characters don't experience it, and I think that's not the way to make movies."
The Times piece did not include a direct response from Saldaña. A representative for the actress did not immediately respond to EW's request for comment.
Confirming Cameron's sentiment, The Way of Water producer Jon Landau previously told EW that the planned Avatar sequels "are a story about family, and the lengths parents will go through to keep that family together and keep them safe," because there's "no more universal theme than family."
In addition to fronting the first Avatar film and helping rake in nearly $3 billion in global ticket sales between late 2009 and early 2010, Saldaña joined the MCU for 2014's James Gunn–directed smash Guardians of the Galaxy, which spawned a 2017 sequel. A third film is slated for release in 2023.
The success of Guardians led to Saldaña's character, the green-skinned hero Gamora, crossing over into the Avengers films, while she also appears in themed video footage inside Disneyland's Guardians of the Galaxy — Mission: Breakout! attraction as well as the new Disney World roller coaster Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.
Why is there even a comparison being made?
Cameron is a legend I cant take any of it away, but he can make his movies the way he wants to make them AND he can leave everyone else the fuck alone.

Considering Avatar was just one long string of cliches, he has some nerve...

Also nothing is more annoying than when people have kids and everything in the Universe suddenly revolves around them. Watch Avatar be all about kids now lmao.

Dude just make your movies...
Part of being a "Hero" from the comics to the movies is the inspiration of family and friends to become heros and the sacrifice of those relationships of being a Hero...
Tony stopped being Ironman to be with his daughter...
Black Widow sacrificed herself so Hawkeye could be with his family... Who them retired to be with his family...
Steve gave up being Captain America to be with his true love...
Too many examples.... Its obvious he has never read a comic or watched the movies...

I could be wrong though
Now THAT?
yeah that has become standard operating procedure and needs to be elevated
but DC does it too...
In fact taika waititi, Judd Apatow, James Gunn and Sandler and Kevin smith I could go on...
Its common as f*ck
so I still think his take was lazy
>>>>>>
Not sure if anybody was paying attention to the trailer.
But Kevin Bacon co-stars in this.
If you remember, Kevin Bacon played “Sebastian Shaw” in the SONY’s “X-Men: First Class”.
Kevin Bacon has said he is open to return to reprise the role in the MCU.
James Gunn has said this Holiday Special is part of Phase 4.
I suspect they cast him for a reason in this flick. I don’t think he is in this for comic relief.

Hawkeye got a lot better when she showed up. I just wish she was a stone cold killer and not trying to be funny.
Cameron just mad his "Avatar" films got left in the dust.
Good luck to the BP2 crew, will be seeing them in two more weeks.
