Sigourney Weaver was set to return as a mysterious new character in the sequel to the movie, despite her death in the first movie. It turns out that The Way of Water is taking a different approach to incorporating Weaver back into the franchise.

The story of the blended family that Jake and the Na'vi started after the original movie was revealed in the first trailer. Surprising as it was to see that Jake and Neytiri had adopted a human child, in a recent interview with Empire magazine, Cameron shared more details about the couple's other child, Kiri, that may point to her being the more intriguing of the two siblings.

Despite Kiri being a teenager, Weaver will play the character and she had a lot of fun working with real teenage girls to develop a sense of what kind of person she is.

Sigourney became younger as a result of her performance. She looked younger, she had more energy, and she never left Kiri for the entire capture period. She had a smile on her face and was happy.

Kiri is adopted, meaning that there may be some sort of connection between her and Dr. Weaver said she was able to step into Kiri's adolescence with familiarity because she recalled how awkward she was as a child.

Kiri would feel awkward a lot of the time. She is trying to find who she is. Jim challenged me and I was happy to be part of it.

On December 16th, there will be a movie called The Way of Water.
