Despite his character seemingly dying in the original Avatar, Stephen Lang is set to make his return as Colonel Miles Quaritch in Avatar: The Way of Water.
In the highly anticipated Avatar sequel, Lang will play a “recom” version of himself, which stands for a recombinant.
Essentially, according to Lang, his characters’ mind, emotions, and potentially the spirit of Quaritch has been downloaded into an autonomous avatar.
It features the return of Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Joel David Moore, Dileep Rao, Stephen Lang, Matt Gerald, and Sigourney Weaver.
