She said her organization IllumiNative, which aims to improve media portrayals of Indigenous people, is in talks with Disney on how the “Avatar” franchise might avoid similar pitfalls in its third installment, set to release 2024.

kinda lol though. The rest of it may be valid, but this part is just a grift.

edit: She's probably gonna get them to redo half the movie and Disney will force the artists and actors to crunch and be miserable an entire year xD And the third one will somehow be about how the United States is actually Good™ and helping the Na'vi and the bad guys were actually just a rogue splinter faction. All clear guys phew! Call me ridiculously cynical. I'm kind of paranoid that there's a lot of people and institutions kinda out to get this movie because of the fact that it is anti-imperialist and portrays Americans negatively.

Yeah "is in talks with Disney..." is code for "is soliciting a contract with Disney..." Plus, principal photography wrapped in 2020, and IllumiNative can do the most/best work in preproduction. I'd think it's too late?
