  "account": "James Cameron, the visionary behind the 2009 sci-fi epic Avatar, has once again heaped praise on Marvel for their latest blockbuster, Avengers: Endgame. The film, which recently re-released, has once again claimed the title of the highest-grossing movie of all time, surpassing Avatar's lifetime worldwide box office collection of $2.924 billion. Cameron took to his social media platform, X, to express his admiration, complimenting Marvel and the Avengers: Endgame: Encore for bringing audiences back to theaters. This isn't the first time the renowned director has publicly congratulated Marvel on this achievement; in 2019, he had similarly lauded the studio, writing, \"Oel ngati kameie. I see you Marvel. Congratulations to Avengers: Endgame on becoming the new box-office king.\"",
