Sigourney Weaver Set to Return in Three Avatar Sequels

Sigourney Weaver is set to appear in the three Avatar sequels which James Cameron plans to shoot later this year. The three films will be shot back-to-back and the first is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters across the United States in December 2016.

Following the announcement Cameron said: "Sigourney and I have a long creative history, dating back to 1985 when we made Aliens. We're good friends who've always worked well together, so it just feels right that she's coming back for the Avatar sequels. Her character of Grace Augustine, as fans know, died in the first movie, so she's playing a different and in many ways more challenging character in the upcoming films. We're both looking forward to this new creative challenge, the latest chapter in our long and continuing collaboration."

Twentieth Century Fox and Lightstorm Entertainment will make the next three Avatar films in New Zealand.

Note: In the United States, Avatar 3D is available on Blu-ray courtesy of Twentieth Centiry Fox Home Entertainment. Click on the link to see our listing and review of this release.
