Plot Synopsis
Avatar 2 has been confirmed, though it is still in the very early stages of development. The Avatar Sequel may take place on a planet other than Pandora. Says Avatar 2 writer and director James Cameron, "We have some story ideas for how to branch out into other moons of Polyphemus and the Alpha Centauri A solar system." http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2009/12/28/will-future-avatar-movies-focus-on-pandoras-neighboring-moons/
A source had previously ignited speculation that Avatar 2 would not take place on Pandora when he said, "It's all up the air as of now. But remember I'm telling you this. Pandora is not the be all and end all of the Consortium." However, it is important to remember that Avatar 2 is in a very early concept stage, meaning no sequel ideas are set in stone.http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Avatar-2-Likely-To-Leave-Pandora-16317.html
