Sam Worthington & Zoe Saldana
Jake Sully & Neytiri are back for three more “Avatar” sequels!
Director
James Cameron announced that Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana will
reprise their roles from the 2009 blockbuster in three more movies.
“Jake
Sully is rare combination of passion, strength, street smarts and soul,
which requires a lot from an actor. Sam brought to the role a
combination of sensitivity, vulnerability and strength,” Cameron said in a statement.
“Zoe
captured every aspect of the character I envisioned, bringing to
Neytiri a mix of delicacy, fierceness and incredible physicality. I am
beyond pleased they’ll be returning with us to Pandora,” his statement
continued.
Stephen Lang, who
played mad Marine Colonel Quaritch in the 2009 film (and appeared to
have died at the end of the movie), was the first star to sign on for
more “Avatar.”
The plot of the new films is being kept under wraps, but according to The Hollywood Reporter, Jake and Neytiri have children in the films.
