Production on Avatar 3 is currently underway, and with that comes a lot of mystery surrounding the upcoming installment of the multi-billion dollar franchise. However, despite the movie being under wraps, it looks like a couple of deceased characters may make an appearance in the upcoming installment, as producer Jon Landau has revealed via Instagram that Wes Studi and Laz Alonso, who previously played Eytukan and Tsu’tey, are returning to the franchise to do some motion capture work.
“It’s great to have Laz and Wes back for a little performance capture,” Landau said in the post. It remains unknown whether the two actors are set to reprise their roles as the characters they previously played or if they are now playing new characters. However, it’s worth noting that the franchise is no stranger to bringing deceased characters back to life, as shown by Miles Quaritch, played by Stephen Lang, who was resurrected via memory download as an Avatar clone in the last installment. But with the franchise set to be an overarching family saga, it’s also possible that they will only be making minor appearances via flashbacks.
Avatar: The Way of Water is streaming now on Disney+. Check out Landau‘s post below:
