In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, the creator of the franchise, James Cameron, opened up about his plans for the famed franchise. He revealed what his plans are if his latest installment is unable to perform as well as its previous 2 parts at the box office.

Discussing the matter, he shared, “I don’t know if the saga goes beyond this point. I hope it does. But, you know, we prove that business case every time we go out...If we don’t get to make 4 and 5, for whatever reason, I’ll hold a press conference, and I’ll tell you what we were gonna do. How’s that?”
