It’s been a big week for news from Pandora.
Details of the long-awaitedAvatarsequels have been slowly trickling in.
First, we got photos ofKate Winsletin the forthcomingAvatar: The Way of Water.
The photo appears in this month’s issue ofEmpiremagazine, which features interviews with the cast and directorJames Cameron.
For Weaver, the role was a chance to relive her adolescence.
“I certainly do.
I was 5' 10” or 5' 11" when I was 11.
I felt strongly that Kiri would feel awkward a lot of the time.
She’s searching for who she is.
I was thrilled to be given that challenge by Jim."
“Sigourney just became younger,” recalls Cameron.
She had a glow on her face and lightness in her step and a fun spirit."
See Weaver as her new character in theEmpiretweet above.
Avatar: The Way of Waterwill be released in theaters Dec. 16.
