With James Cameron’s four Avatar sequels currently in development, another familiar face has been confirmed to be returning to the franchise.

As per Deadline, Matt Gerald is to return as Corporal Lyle Wainfleet. And yes, yes, we’re well aware that the character was killed off in Cameron’s first Avatar. How Wainfleet is brought back, we’ll obviously have to wait and see.

Gerald – who has more recently been seen in Marvel’s Daredevil – joins a cast that includes the fellow returning faces of Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Joel David Moore, and CCH Pounder. In terms of newcomers, the sequels have already confirmed Cliff Curtis and Oona Chaplin to be joining the action.

The current plan for all things Avatar is for Avatar 2 to hit the silver screen in December 2020, Avatar 3 for December 2021, Avatar 4 for December 2024, and Avatar 5 for December 2025.
