Avatar director James Cameron has confirmed that the third movie in the sci-fi franchise will have a major difference to the first two installments – it won't be narrated by Jake Sully (Sam Worthington).
"I'm going to take a moment when the dust clears to assess what people loved and what they responded to the most in this current release, and I may go back and tinker a little bit, and we may go back and do a couple of moments here and there," Cameron told the Soundtracking with Edith Bowman podcast when asked about the status of the third movie.
"It won't be radical, but maybe fine-tune it a bit to emphasize that which people are responding to. For example, Lo'ak really emerged as a character that people went with, so I might find ways to... now, he's already the narrator – oh, I'm giving away something here... But this is okay, I think it could be intriguing for people to think about what's coming."

Cameron continued: "Jake was our voiceover narrator for movie one and for movie two, and we have a different narrator for each of the subsequent films. We see it through the eyes of a different character."
