The rain hammered against the car window as I scrolled through entertainment news, each headline blurring into the next. Then, I saw it: “Yeoh to appear in Avatar 4 & 5—if we make it.” I blinked, and the full implications hit me: even James Cameron felt the industry’s chill.
Avatar 4 & 5
Remember when James Cameron said he was planning multiple Avatar sequels? In a recent interview with TVBS News Japan, Cameron confirmed Michelle Yeoh will “definitely” appear in Avatar 4 & 5…contingent on the films actually getting made.
Michelle Yeoh is definitely going to be in Avatar 4—if we make it. The movie industry is depressed right now, and Avatar 3 cost a lot of money. We have to do well to continue. We not only have to succeed, but also find a way to make Avatar 4 more inexpensively in order to move forward. Michelle will be in Avatar 4 and Avatar 5. She will play a performance-capture character. Her character’s name is Palakpuelat, and she is Na’vi.
