And while we did wait a lengthy 13 years for Avatar: Way of the Water, these recent delays due to the WGA writer's strike seem like an eternity.
Avatar star Zoe Saldaña took to Instagram to hilariously put the postponement in perspective.
She shared a post from @pubity about the delays to her IG stories and wrote:
"Great! I'm gonna be 53 when the last Avatar movie comes out."
At the bottom, the Guardians of the Galaxy star added:
“I was 27 when I shot the very first Avatar movie 🥸"

\u201c@DiscussingFilm This is just outrageous. \nThe whole original fan base will likely die off before the series is done at this point. \ud83e\udee0\u201d— DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm) 1686759844

Not to mention, she has some things lined up to keep her busy in the meantime with the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and her upcoming role in Special Ops: Lioness for Paramount+ which will premiere on July 23.
We think she'll be alright, too.
