Stephen Lang Confirmed the Shooting Date of Avatar 2

MOVIE NEWS – Same as Titanic and the first Avatar movie beforehand, Avatar 2 is one more James Cameron movie that has been delayed all the time. Avatar 2 was initially meant to be released way back in 2013. But now, it’s pushed back to December 2018, which nearly a decade after the original movie debuted in 2009. Stephen Lang – who played the main villain – will retake his role as Colonel Miles Quaritch – a task which keeps him from becoming Cable in Deadpool 2. Talking to Ain’t It Cool News, Lang also confirmed that the film will begin shooting early in 2017 so it can be released indeed in December 2018.

“Yeah, the reading of things. We’re getting there. We’re in good shape. We’ll be starting certainly early in the new year. But you know, the thing is, as you can imagine with a film like Avatar, it’s not like the work hasn’t been going on. The design, the production design, the various worlds, and creatures and environments, that’s all being worked on,” told Land about the delay.

Stephen Lang also admitted that James Cameron and his Avatar team have been working on the sequel since the original opened six years ago. The ensemble cast will include returning actors Zoe Saldana, Sam Worthington and Sigourney Weaver. Stephen Lang also told some strange things about James Cameron and the production.

“That’s what he’s done, he creates problems in which he then needs to invent a technology and a new way to do it, and I believe that’s part of the quite perverse joy for him in this is creating these seemingly insurmountable problems, and then bringing aboard people who can be helpful and say, “This is what we’ve got to do.” So it’s a massive effort, but I have every expectation because I’m pretty intimately aware of what’s going. It’s going to be an absolute joy to behold.”

Avatar 2 is coming in December 2018, Avatar 3 will arrive two years later in 2020, and then Avatar 4 and Avatar 5 are arriving back-to-back in 2022 and 2023. While Stephen Lang is confirmed to return in Avatar 2, his overall fate in the franchise is not known, and it isn’t clear if he’ll be back for all of these sequels. We’ll be sure to keep you posted as more Avatar 2 news breaks. Hopefully, the movie doesn’t get delayed any further.
