Avatar: The Way Of Water.While it was known the actor would return for the sequel, her role has been left a mystery after her character, Dr. Grace Augustine, died in the original 2009 film.As revealed by Empire, Weaver will play an entirely new character in the sequel called Kiri – the adopted teenage daughter of Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) who is a blue Na’vi.“I think we all pretty much remember what we were feeling as adolescents,” Weaver said.

When Sigourney Weaver appeared on the cast list for James Cameron’s upcoming “Avatar: The Way Of Water,” fans of the mega-franchise had some serious questions. Namely, who is she playing in the sequel? For those who don’t remember (and it’s okay if you don’t, because “Avatar” came out in 2009, and no one except for franchise uber-fans have watched it since), Weaver played Dr.

Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaAndrew Lloyd Webber says he is “devastated” that the media is reporting that he believes his West End production of “Cinderella” was a “costly mistake” and insists that his sentiments have been taken out of context.The “Phantom of the Opera” and “Cats” composer was booed when a letter he wrote was read at the final performance of “Cinderella” in London on Sunday evening. In it, Lloyd Webber talked about “Cinderella’s” long road to the stage, one that saw the theater impresario doing battle with the U.K. government over health and capacity restrictions that prevented theaters from reopening for over a year.
