James Cameron has revealed that studio executives said ‘holy f**k’ after reading Avatar 4’s script.

While speaking with Collider’s Perri Nemiroff, the prestigious filmmaker spoke of his writing process for the franchise.

Cameron noted that although studio executives returned with pages of feedback for the second and third movie scripts, they went absolutely ballistic for the fourth.

He said: “I can’t tell you the details, but all I can say is that when I turned in the script for two, the studio gave me three pages of notes.

"And when I turned in the script for thre, they gave me a page of notes, so I was getting better.

“When I turned in the script for 4, the studio executive, creative executive over the films wrote me an email that said, ‘Holy f**k.’ And I said, ‘Well, where are the notes?’ And she said, ‘Those are the notes.’ Because it kind of goes nuts in a good way, right?”

Cameron also teased the fourth film will have a big twist as he suspects audiences will automatically assume they know what the flick is about before it heads in another direction entirely.

He added: “I hope I get to make that film, is what I’m saying.”

While development for the fourth film has already commenced, reviews for the sequel have begun rolling in and critics are loving it.

Comicbook’s Brandon Davis gave the film a thumbs up while labelling it a ‘visual feast’.

He wrote: “Avatar: The Way of Water, being more than 3 hours long, is both fulfilling and indulgent. It still ends wanting you to know a third is coming. Constantly a visual feast, creative plays with frame rate, and never boring despite. Overall, I liked it.”

While CNN's Tom Page said the sequel was better than the original.

He wrote in part: “#AvatarTheWayOfWater is ‘more is more’ writ large. It’s more beautiful, more in awe of Pandora; more vocal in its environmentalism, more damning of humans. It’s an adrenaline shot to 3D filmmaking and an uncompromising doubling down."

While it looks like the filmmaker has struck gold again, there are no promises he’ll be back to direct the franchise after the sequel.

He previously confessed to Empire: "I don’t know if that’s after three or after four – I’ll want to pass the baton to a director that I trust to take over, so I can go do some other stuff that I’m also interested in. Or maybe not. I don’t know.”
