AceShowbiz - The wait is almost over! "Avatar 2" is set to begin shooting in the fall, according to Sigourney Weaver. The actress made the revelation at a screening of "The Assignment" in New York City on Monday, April 3.
"We're starting!" Sigourney excitedly told The Hollywood Reporter at the screening held at Whitby Hotel. "We're starting training, and we're starting - hmm, I probably can't say anything. We will be actually shooting it by the fall."
Although there is a delay in the filming, Sigourney reassures that audiences' patience will be rewarded in time. "I'm telling you, these scripts are so amazing, I'm not worried about [disappointing fans] at all," she shared.
"Am I worried about how we're going to bring them to life? Yes, because they're so ambitious. They're so worth it. They're well worth waiting for," she continued, "I'm not worried about that at all. We're trying to get it done as quickly as possible."
James Cameron previously noted that the scripts of all four "Avatar" films were completed, but the sequel would not be ready for a 2018 release date. Sigourney is set to return alongside Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana and Stephen Lang.
