The enfranchisement will finally return in 2020 with what could potentially be the first of four sequel , all of which are being directed and co - written by Cameron , and feature the genius of the firstAvatar(yes , let in the ones whose characters died ) .
Suffice it to say , Cameron’sAvatarsequels could give Disneyanother sci - fi juggernaut to go withStar Wars , now that the studio apartment ’s finalized its purchase of Fox ’s assets ( and theAvatarfranchise with them ) .

As famous as Michelle Yeoh is for her office in martial arts films likeCrouching Tiger , Hidden Dragonand its subsequence ( not to mention , this month’sMaster Z : Ip Man Legacy ) , she ’s really begun to branch out into the public of sci - fi of late . Her former employment in the genre includes a crook in Danny Boyle’sSunshineand her cameo as Aleta Ogord inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 , in addition to her leading role(s ) as Philippa Georgiou onStar Trek : Discovery . She ’s now ready to asterisk inher ownStar TrekTV series spinoff , and may yet reprise herGuardiansrole inGuardians of the Galaxy 3 in a few eld . Between all of that and theAvatarsequels , we ’re going to be see a lot more of Yeoh in outer space in the foreseeable future .
All in all , her molding in theAvatarsequels is exciting newsworthiness , even if her role terminate up being supporting only . Cameron is gearing up tostart yield on the pic ' bouncy - action scenes , which explain the recent uptick in casting update for the film . That also makes it unmanageable to say if Yeoh ’s role will be pocket-size or fairly substantial in nature . Scientists are typically more trustworthy and noble thanother humanity in theAvataruniverse , so there ’s a comely chance that Dr. Mogue will be one of the hero in the sequels , as opposed to an antagonist or scoundrel . Beyond that , Yeoh ’s character is yet another musical composition to the massive puzzle that is theAvatarsequels right now .
