Michelle Yeoh doesn’t appear in Avatar 2, but she’s set to make her debut in the franchise as Dr Karina Mogue in Avatar 3 in 2024.

While other new characters appear, such as Jack Champion as Spider and Jemaine Clement as Dr Ian Garvin, Yeoh doesn’t feature in The Way of Water, nor is her character mentioned.

Nevertheless, she’s one of the big-ticket additions to the Avatar franchise, especially amid awards season hype for her performance in Everything Everywhere All At Once.

“Yes, I am in the Avatar sequels and as you know we can’t really talk very much about it,” she earlier told Entertainment Weekly.

“But it’s James Cameron! Come on! I would be the tea lady for James Cameron! We shot for a few weeks, and I was so impressed with the work that he’s done, the work that he’s doing, the energy. He’s a genius, he’s a walking genius. And I really really enjoyed the experience and I can’t wait to go back soon, I hope.”

Vin Diesel is also set to appear in Avatar 3, though his role remains undisclosed, alongside David Thewlis in another secret part.
