Stephen Lang Returning to Avatar sequels as main antagonist


Any one in tune with their movie history remembers 2009’s Avatar: a movie that 8 years later, is still holding on to the title of biggest earning movie with a whopping $2.7 billion. Naturally, as is only fair, James Cameron is slated to release not just one but three sequels or three-quels with the first expected to hit cinemas in
2020 (a full 11 years after Avatar) and every day, news filters in about on-going development. The latest being Stephen Lang’s Col. Miles Quaritch or as I like to call him,
General Stone (who’d done 2 tours in Nigeria) will be back as the main bad guy in all three sequels. Normally, this would not raise an eyebrow but everyone familiar with Avatar remembers that when last we saw General Stone, he was impaled in his AMP suit and even if the spear used missed a vital organ, the glass ensuring he maintained breathable air within the suit was shattered ergo he’d have suffocated in minutes due to Pandora air being unbreathable.


So, I and the crew have come up with some theories as to how his character will be re-introduced into the plot.
-Avatar is set in the distant future where everyone is a twin. Like Sam Worthington’s Jake Sulley, who is a twin, General Stone will have a twin. Sigourney Weaver’s Dr. Grace Augustin that also died when the clan attempts to transfer her consciousness from her injured human body into her avatar with the aid of the Tree of Souls, but dies before the process can be completed is slated to come back for all three sequels so this explains her come back also.

-Remember Eywa? The deity Jake prays to via a neural connection to the Tree of Souls, to intercede on behalf of the Na'vi? Well she or it in a display of greatness, gives life to all life that was lost during the climactic battle in the first movie and General Stone. Everyone but Michelle Rodriguez’ character that is. Can’t have her coming back from the dead in every movie like she did in Fast and Furious 4 now can we.

Cameron originally planned to release the first of the sequels in 2018 but pushed his schedule back in order to allow for even more technological advancement. The first of Cameron’s films is set to be released in 2020 and is rumored to explore the aquatic terrain of Pandora.
Avatar 2 will see the return of Zoe Saldana, Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver and Stephen Lang.
