Overview
- James Cameron told TVBS News that Michelle Yeoh is set to play a performance‑capture Na'vi in Avatar 4 and 5, contingent on the films being made.
- The director said the franchise will proceed only if Avatar: Fire and Ash performs well financially and if future entries can be produced more inexpensively.
- Cameron indicated that, if greenlit, Avatar 4 and 5 would be shot together as a single overarching story, following the approach used for the second and third films.
- Portions of Avatar 4 were shot in the late 2010s to address aging among younger cast members, with reports indicating Yeoh participated in those early scenes.
- Avatar 4 and 5 currently hold December 2029 and December 2031 release dates on studio schedules, though production remains unconfirmed as box office for the third film trails earlier entries.
