I have a feeling that death isn’t too permanent in the world of James Cameron’s Avatar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A while back, Sigourney Weaver confirmed<\/a> that she would be back for the director’s planned followups to his blockbuster science-fiction epic despite her character not surviving to see the film’s closing credits. Now it turns out another actor whose character met a fatal end will also be returning for the sequels.<\/p>\n

Deadline<\/a> is reporting that Stephen Lang, the villainous Colonel Quaritch will be seen again in the new films. They also have a quote from Cameron about the actor and his character’s return.<\/p>\n

Steven was so memorable in the first film, we\u2019re privileged to have him back. I\u2019m not going to say exactly how we\u2019re bringing him back, but it\u2019s a science fiction story, after all. His character will evolve into really unexpected places across the arc of our new three-film saga. I really look forward to working with such a gifted actor, who\u2019s also become a good friend.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Given what we’ve seen so far of the world of Pandora in the first Avatar<\/strong> film, one could probably make some educated guesses as to how Weaver and Lang’s characters return. And that’s before considering such mundane options such as flashbacks or prequels.<\/p>\n

Cameron will be setting to work with his cast to films Avatars 2-4 early next year. Currently he was working with screenwriters Josh Friedman, Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver and Shane Salerno on firming up the scripts for the films.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Another character back from the dead for Cameron’s sequels.<\/div>\n
