Trivia
- A sequel to Titanic (1997) is unlikely to be made, as Century Fox and James Cameron himself have repeatedly stated that they are more focused on turning Avatar into a five-film franchise. Where the lore and world of Pandora is explored, with Avatar: The Way of Water already released in 2022 and with Avatar III on the way.
