James Cameron has confirmed that Stephen Lang will reprise the role as the chief villain of Avatar across its forthcoming sequels.
Speaking to Empire, he said: “The interesting conceit of the Avatar sequels is it’s pretty much the same characters.
Lang’s return as the chief bad guy, who Cameron has previously compared to Star Wars villain Darth Vader, is perhaps unsurprising considering Sigourney Weaver is returning for the sequels despite her character Dr Grace Augustine dying in the 2009 blockbuster.
The release dates of all four of Cameron’s Avatar sequels have finally been firmed up with the first sequel arriving on 18 December 2020 in glasses-free 3D, no less.
