‘Avatar 3’ Filming Update: Original Cast Return

‘Avatar 3’ continues to make waves with news of original characters returning. Director James Cameron, returning to Pandora after his 2009 blockbuster, ‘Avatar,’ and the 2022 sequel, ‘Avatar: The Way of Water,’ is now immersed in filming the third instalment. The upcoming movie promises new characters alongside familiar faces.

Actor Joel David Moore, known for his role as Norm Spellman in previous films, recently confirmed his return to New Zealand for “Avatar 3” filming in a social media update.

He shared a nostalgic post featuring Giovanni Ribisi, set to reprise his role as Parker Selfridge, and Dileep Rao, who plays Dr. Max Patel. The post also included a throwback image with Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, and Michelle Rodriguez from the original film’s production.

Parker Selfridge, a key figure representing corporate interests in the mining of Pandora’s unobtanium, survived the events of the first film and made a cameo in ‘Avatar: The Way of Water.’ Producer Jon Landau has confirmed Selfridge’s expanded role in ‘Avatar 3,’ hinting at his involvement in new ventures on Pandora, possibly related to the Tulkun-secreted substance, Amrita, introduced in the sequel.

While specifics remain under wraps, Selfridge’s return promises to deepen the storyline and potentially intersect with characters like Jake Sully (played by Sam Worthington) and Colonel Quaritch (played by Stephen Lang). With ‘Avatar 3’ set to release in about a year and a half, fans eagerly await further updates on this epic sci-fi saga.
