Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh joined the Avatar sequels a long time ago, back in 2019, but she won’t be appearing in them until 2029’s Avatar 4.
James Cameron himself denied the veteran actress would show up in next year’s Avatar: Fire and Ash while talking to Entertainment Weekly, shooting down previous reports of her role coming into play in the threequel.
“Michelle Yeoh won’t be in three. She’s in four and five…so that got a little bit misreported. She will be coming in soon to do her part, which is an interesting, fun character. I mean, we’re getting ahead of ourselves now. This whole thing has been planned for years and years,” he told EW. Even though we’ve yet to meet and learn more about Yeoh’s character, we’ve known her name for a while – Dr. Karina Morgue. Whether she’s one of the good or bad RDA people remains to be seen (though she appeared in this 2021 IG photo alongside Giovanni Ribisi’s villainous RDA boss), but this all but confirms she won’t be yet another new Na’vi character.
