James Cameron Clarifies Michelle Yeoh's Avatar Role

Yeoh will debut in Avatar 4, not in the upcoming Avatar: Fire and Ash, as previously reported.

Michelle Yeoh will not appear in Avatar: Fire and Ash, but will debut in Avatar 4 and return in Avatar 5.
Director James Cameron explained the misreporting and confirmed Yeoh's role as Dr. Karina Mogue.
Cameron has been filming parts of Avatar 4 concurrently with Avatar 3 due to the young cast's aging.
Avatar: Fire and Ash is set to release on December 19, 2025, with Avatar 4 following in 2029.
Cameron praised Yeoh's talent and expressed excitement about her joining the franchise.
