“I’m looking forward to it,” said Weaver, who is also a veteran of the Avatar movies, tells the outlet. “I can't say much about it right now, but it's fun jumping back and forth between all these different universes.”

Weaver also confirmed that she will return to the Avatar franchise for the fourth and fifth installments and told Deadline: “Yes, I think I can say that.”

Review of the first Avatar Weaver says, “I remember reading the script… and reading about these blue people with pointy ears and tails riding these creatures through floating mountains… I couldn't imagine any of it getting filmed. I honestly couldn't imagine how he would ever make a movie that looked like that and had those elements in it.”

She adds: “But I am so happy for Jim [Henson]and for the success of these films, which has allowed us to continue making them. I have just finished working on Avatar3 actually at the beginning of the month and I think the series will continue to grow and become more and more powerful.”
