It is no secret that Cameron is fond of the deep sea as he has a lot of experience with deep-sea exploration. As a kid, Cameron developed a fascination with shipwrecks so that explains why he was keen on creating a movie about the Titanic. In 2012, Cameron became the first person to do a solo descent to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the Earth’s ocean, in the Deepsea Challenger submersible.

James Cameron also skipped the 95th Academy Awards
Earlier this year, Cameron shocked the industry and his fans when he didn’t show up at the 95th Academy Awards. It was indeed very odd as Cameron is, without a doubt, one of the most influential directors of the entertainment industry. Producer Jon Landau revealed that Cameron skipped the event due to “personal reasons.”
At the event, Cameron’sAvatar: The Way of Waterearned four nominations but it seems like he is too focused on the nextAvatarfilm, which is all set to release in 2025. That’s not it as a fourth and fifth movie is also confirmed so, it’s safe to say that Cameron will not be leaving his “man cave” for a long time.
