Despite having more than a year left before the premiere of “Avatar 2,” there are already enough details revealed to let fans know what they should expect from the film. For one, it is confirmed that a couple of characters presumed dead in the first movie will actually return for the much-awaited sequel.
The first film, that was released in late 2009, ended with both Dr. Grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver) and Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang) dead in separate circumstances. But previous interviews with the cast and director James Cameron confirmed that Weaver and Lang are taking important roles in “Avatar 2.”
It can be recalled that Quaritch died in the first movie after Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) shot a couple of arrows to his chest before he could kill Jake Sully (Sam Worthington). But it has been confirmed for a while now that most of the original cast, including Lang, is returning to “Avatar 2.” The actor previously told IGN that, as early as 2010, Cameron already told him he is “coming back.”
He also revealed in the same interview that he has filmed several underwater scenes. It has been reported before that the “Avatar 2” plot will significantly focus on the underwater life of Pandora leading to rumors that the movie would be titled “Avatar: The Way of Water.”
One of the good-intentioned characters in the first film was Weaver’s, Dr. Grace Augustine. But she died from Quaritch’s attack. The Na’vi attempted to resurrect her by permanently transferring her being to her avatar, however, she eventually passed away. But it was confirmed in 2014 that Weaver is included in the cast of “Avatar 2” and in the subsequent movies of the franchise.
What still remains a mystery now is how Grace and Quaritch will be revived in “Avatar 2.” But in Grace’s case, Cameron previously revealed to the Guardian, “Her character of Grace Augustine, as fans know, died in the first movie, so she's playing a different and in many ways more challenging character in the upcoming films.” “Avatar 2” is slated to premiere on Dec. 18, 2020.
