Fans of James Cameron’s groundbreaking futuristic fantasy and still the highest-grossing film of all-time, AVATAR, may be interested to learn that the visionary director has confirmed his villain in the original pic is set for a return in his forthcoming sequels. Of course, if you remember Colonel Quadrich, played by Stephen Lang, met his demise in the film but will be mysteriously resurrected for those back-to-back instalments that star Sam Worthington recently said will shoot next October.
Cameron commented:
Steven was so memorable in the first film, we’re privileged to have him back. I’m not going to say exactly HOW we’re bringing him back, but it’s a science fiction story, after all. His character will evolve into really unexpected places across the arc of our new three-film saga. I really look forward to working with such a gifted actor, who’s also become a good friend.
Lang was certainly one of the more memorable characters in the record-breaking 2009 hit. Fingers crossed it’s not some “walks out of the shower and it’s all a dream” bollocks.
