Stephen Lang keert terug in Avatar

Even leek het er op dat we Stephen Lang niet meer zouden zien in de Avatar wereld, maar Twentieth Century Fox heeft bevestigd dat de acteur terug gaat keren als Colonel Miles Quaritch in de komende Avatar sequels. Regisseur James Cameron zei:

“Steven was so memorable in the first film, we’re privileged to have him back. I’m not going to say exactly HOW we’re bringing him back, but it’s 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’s also become a good friend.”

De productie van de films moet in 2014 van start gaan. De eerste film wordt dan in december 2016 uitgebracht, de tweede in december 2017 en de derde in 2018.

Sam Worthington zei het volgende over de start van de productie:

“They are still writing it. I think Jim is building the ship to Pandora, to be honest. We are going to start this time next year and we will do two, three and four. In one shot, we’ll do them simultaneously. I’ll be grateful if it finishes.”
