Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana Back for All Three 'Avatar' Sequels

[Jachyra]

In a news story that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone (more of a relief really), Sam & Zoe just officially signed their contracts for the 3 sequels. Stephen Lang signed before both, which is kinda surprising.

Also confirmed that Jake & Neytiri have kids (which was easy to guess for anyone who watched the deleted scenes, seeing NeyNey pregnant).

A Cameron quote from the article:

"Jake Sully is a rare combination of passion, strength, street smarts and soul, which requires a lot from an actor. Sam brought to the role a combination of sensitivity, vulnerability and strength. Zoe captured every aspect of the character I envisioned, bringing to Neytiri a mix of delicacy, fierceness and incredible physicality. I am beyond pleased they'll be returning with us to Pandora."

Here's the link to the article.

I'm sure there was some sort pre-contract or tacit understanding that they were coming back for any sequels but now it's official.

Edit: Actually, they had signed up for 2 sequels but with the addition of a 3rd sequel, renegotiations were in order, which explains the new contract signatures.

Cheers!
