Is there too much of a good thing? For many Disney fans, the answer is often ‘No,’ and the same can go for fans of other Disney-owned franchises.

Marvel Studios fans are often thrilled to hear that another flick is coming to their movie theater, Star Wars fans love seeing more content on Disney+ (or Disney Plus), et cetera.

Now, fans of the Avatar series will soon be able to join the club!
