For Weaver, it wasn’t tough to get again into her youthful self for the function.

“I don’t think any of us are very far away from our 14-year-old selves,” Weaver mentioned of the half. “It’s such a strong memory, how great it was and how awful it was. I just sort of fell in love with the character. Jim has this amazing ability to write straight into the heart of a character.”

However, it did imply Weaver needed to play the character very in another way from her regular roles, which she discovered a very rewarding expertise.

Avatar: The Way of Water was directed and co-written by Cameron. It options the return of Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Joel David Moore, Dileep Rao, Stephen Lang, Matt Gerald, and Weaver. Additional forged members embrace Kate Winslet, Edie Falco, Michelle Yeoh, Jemaine Clement, and Oona Chaplin, alongside a slate of younger actors.

“Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, Avatar: The Way of Water begins to tell the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure,” says the official synopsis.
