First Avatar (which you can watch now with a Disney + membership), Sigourney Weaver played Dr. Grace Augustine, an exobiologist and head of the Avatar program on Pandora. Despite the feature’s premature demise, James Cameron announced a few years after its release that the Extraterrestrial The actress would return for the sequel as a new character. We’ve spent nearly a decade wondering how Weaver would fit into Avatar 2 image, but that mystery was eventually solved, as was its role in the official title Avatar: The way of water was revealed.
While a common assumption was that Sigourney Weaver would return Avatar: The way of water to play the personification of the Tree of Souls, which Grace was brought to in the first film in a failed attempt to transfer her soul into her Avatar body, she actually plays a Na’vi named Kiri, who is the adopted teenage daughter by Jake Sully by Sam Worthington and Neytiri by Zoe Saldaña. Check out a clean image of this character below:
Well that’s a nice twist! By the way, even though we’ve just learned that Sigourney Weaver plays Kiri, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen this character. She can be seen briefly about a third of the way down Avatar: The way of water trailer swimming underwater. See for yourself!
If you look at the full picture of Kiri on Empire, you will see young Na’vi watching a video recording of Dr. Grace Augustine. In other words, it’s Sigourney Weaver watching Sigourney Weaver … it’s amazing. As for the interpretation of a teenage character Avatar: The way of waterWeaver, who is currently 72, told the publication it was an opportunity to bring out her inner child, saying:
I think we all remember quite well how we felt when we were teenagers. I certainly do. I was 5 ′ 10 ″ or 5 ′ 11 ″ when I was 11. She had a strong feeling that Kiri would be uncomfortable most of the time. He looks for who she is. I was thrilled that Jim gave me this challenge.
James Cameron acknowledged that it was a “big” acting challenge, as “an actor in his 60s was playing a character [decades younger than] their actual biological age. But Sigourney Weaver was up to the task and ended up hosting a seminar with a group of teenagers to channel the right kind of youthful energy. The director continues:
Sigourney just got younger. He looked younger, had more energy, and never left Kiri during the entire capture period. He had a shimmer on his face, a lightness of step and a playful spirit.
Since it is confirmed that Sigourney Weaver will also be there Avatar 3fans can rest easy knowing that Kiri will make it Avatar: The way of water Alive … unless, of course, he appears as another character in Part 3, in which case there is another mystery we need to puzzle over. Either way, Kiri’s siblings include Jamie Flatters’ Neteyam, Britain Dalton’s Lo’ak and Jack Champion’s Javier “Spider” Socorro, the latter being a human born on Pandora and rescued by Jake and Neytiri. . Let’s not forget that Weaver isn’t the only actor in the first one Avatar the film returns for the sequel even though his character dies. However, in Stephen Lang’s case, he will play Miles Quaritch again, with the main antagonist somewhat revived, although Lang’s performance now involves motion capture.
Avatar: The way of water is one of the many cinematic releases of 2022 still to come, which will be released in theaters on December 16. Avatar 3 will follow on December 20, 2024, with the other two sequels announced scheduled for 2026 and 2028 respectively.
