With most of the rest of Avatar's main cast returning for James Cameron's sequels, some of you might have been wondering whether scientist Norm Spellman, played by Joel David Moore, would be joining them. Good news for all Spellbinders (we're assuming that's the character's fanbase name): Norm will be back.
While Cameron has been changing the number and release dates for the sequels on a regular basis, he's now locking in an 18 December 2020 release for the second film, the first of four planned new movies.
Moore joins the likes of Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang and Sigourney Weaver in the film, which has already added one new face in Cliff Curtis' tribal leader. Little is known about the new movie, aside from the fact that there will be a heavy underwater element. Cameron is in pre-production on all the movies simultaneously, looking to kick off shooting them order either this year or next. As for Moore, he's preparing to direct his second film, Timon Of Athens and has worked on the likes of Drone and The Morning After.
