Sam Worthington Talks Avatar 2

Sam Worthington's become the go-to guy for big action films having starred in Avatar, Terminator Salvation, and the soon to be released remake of Clash of the Titans. And although you might think he's eager to do something on a much smaller scale after all these action-heavy roles in a row, Worthington said that's not necessarily the case. At the LA press conference for Clash of the Titans, Worthington explained how he goes about deciding what's next. "I like doing movies that I would go and see. I think that's a good barometer for how I choose my movies. Avatar's given me a lot of freedom but I've always said, I said this in Australia too, I'm not in this profession to be famous. That's a byproduct of the size and scope of the movies I do."

Speaking of Avatar, Worthington revealed that even throughout filming James Cameron was bringing up ideas for a sequel. "I think with any undertaking with the manpower and time that it takes to make that kind of movie, Jim's got to find the challenge. He's got to push the bar again. Here's a man that raises the bar, dares everyone to jump over it and gives you the courage to jump over it, but he's got to find the challenge for himself. I think at the moment he's busy with other things, but it's definitely on the books," said Worthington about the probability of there being an Avatar 2.

And Access Hollywood said Worthington thinks there will be an Avatar 3, 4, and 5, but Worthington says that's not what he meant. "No, I read that online yesterday. Once again, Sam Worthington misquoted," explained Worthington. "No, I think Jim had an arc for three. Three's a great number. Three's the number you do, a triangle number. At the moment, we didn't even know we would go and do a second one until it fully gets embraced. I think the fact that it got embraced so quickly, so amazingly, which is mind-blowing for all of us, means an audience wouldn't mind going back to Pandora with us. I don't know about five. I know it would be three probably, but if you do the second one and it's terrible, you don't do the third one. It all depends on audiences. That's why you make movies."
