Filmmaker James Cameron has said that Oscar-winning actor Michelle Yeoh will “definitely” appear in future Avatar films, provided the franchise continues beyond its third instalment. 

The filmmaker told an international publication, “Michelle is definitely going to be in Avatar 4, if we make it,” while acknowledging the uncertainty surrounding the franchise’s future. He added that if the franchise proceeds, the fourth and fifth instalments would be shot back-to-back, much like Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) and Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025), unfolding as “one big story.”
