James Cameron's 2009 3D epic Avatar will have three sequels, Fox Studios has revealed.

The three films, which will be filmed back-to-back next year, will be released in December 2016, 2017 and 2018 respectively.

According to Cameron, the two sequels he proposed in 2010 "would not be enough".

Commenting: "In writing the new films, I've come to realise that Avatar's world, story and characters have become even richer than I anticipated. It became apparent that two films would not be enough to capture everything I wanted to put on screen."

Four screenwriters, including War of the Worlds writer Josh Friedman and Armageddon scriptwriter Shane Salerno, have been hired to assist Cameron in writing the follow-ups to the highest grossing film of all time.
