In addition to the reveal of the new Star Wars films, as part of a new trilogy, Disney also released details of upcoming “Avatar” films, as stated in their release:

“The updated calendar also sets release dates for major franchises Avatar and Star Wars. With Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker bringing the original Skywalker Saga to its conclusion, three new as-yet-untitled Star Wars films will release on the pre-Christmas weekend every other year beginning in 2022. Four upcoming Avatar films, expanding the vibrant world of Pandora, will release on the pre-Christmas weekend every other year beginning in 2021.”

Yes — you read that right. Disney will be releasing an Avatar film, followed by a new Star Wars film every other year starting in 2021 through 2027. In total, that is three new “Star Wars” films and four new “Avatar” films, with their releases falling in December of each consecutive year.

From the release, it appears all of these films are currently untitled or in reference by their sequential order of release, i.e., “Avatar 2,” “Avatar 3,” and so on. The same goes for the Star Wars films. We probably won’t see any official details of the next Star Wars trilogy at least until the beginning of 2020, following the release of “The Rise of Skywalker.”
