The director adds that Weta FX is the best visual effects company in the business.
James Cameron can’t help himself but to take digs at the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
He pivoted to how comic book movies have led to more talent overall in the area.
“The rising tide of technique raises everybody together,” Cameron said.
But then Cameron took his shot at Marvel while also boasting about the Avatar sequel.
“That said, Weta FX, as it’s called now, is the best.
Give me a break,” Cameron said.
“You saw [Avatar: The Way of Water].
It’s not even close.
It’s what Weta did.”
He even added that he “loves those movies.”
But this isn’t the first timeCameron has had strong words for Marvel–and DC for that matter.
In October, the filmmaker said superhero movies lack emotional maturation for the main characters.
“They have relationships, but they really don’t.
They never hang up their spurs because of their kids.”
For instance,he’s not worried about “trolls and naysayers"predicting that his film will flop.
That would be a notable increase from the original’s debut of $77 million.
That said, Cameron has said thatthe Avatar sequel is the “worst business case in movie history.”
