Actor Vin Diesel seemed to suggest in 2019 that he would be in James Cameron's Avatar movie series, but that will not be the case. Producer Jon Landau told Empire that Diesel's visit to the Avatar movie set was purely because he was a fan, not because he was there to film anything.

　　"He came in, visited the set one day to see what we were doing and people took that out of context," Landau said.

　　Diesel himself led fans to believe he might be in the Avatar sequels, saying at the time, "There is one person in Hollywood I've always wanted to work with and learn from, and so, all things come, I guess, to those that wait."

　　While fans won't see Diesel in the next Avatar movies, he's lined up to star in 2023's Fast X and the video game Ark II.

　　As for who is joining the cast for the upcoming Avatar sequels, Michelle Yeoh (Crazy Rich Asians, Everything Everywhere All At Once) and David Thewlis (Timeline, Harry Potter) will appear in Avatar 3, which is set for release in theaters in December 2024.

　　Avatar: The Way of Water released in theaters on December 16 and has been the No. 1 movie each weekend since then. It is closing in on $2 billion, and should it reach that, it would become Cameron's third movie to pass $2 billion, joining the original Avatar and Titanic. The Way of Water is currently the seventh highest-grossing movie in history, and it's expected to move up to No. 5 or higher.
