Avatar 2: Main villain revealed

James Cameron has revealed the main villain of all four Avatar sequels. Talking to Empire, the Titanic director revealed that Stephen Lang’s Colonel Miles Quaritch will be back to terrorise the Na’vi again in the sequels:

“The interesting conceit of the Avatar sequels is it’s pretty much the same characters. There are new characters and a lot of new settings and creatures, so I’m taking characters you know and putting them in unfamiliar places and moving them on this greater journey

“But it’s not a whole bunch of new characters every time. There’s not a new villain every time, which is interesting. Same guy. Same motherf**ker through all four movies. He is so good and he just gets better. I know Stephen Lang is gonna knock this out of the park.” said Cameron.

Quaritch was presumed dead.

Lang had already been confirmed to return, but was expected to feature in just a flashback cameo role. Sigourney Weaver’s Dr Grace Augustine also returns having died in the first movie.

Avatar 2 is scheduled for release on December 18, 2020.
