If you recall, the 72-year-old actress portrayed Dr. Grace Augustine, an xenobotanist and head of the Avatar Program on Pandora, in the first film that was released in 2009
However, Grace died due to a gunshot wound inflicted by Colonel Quaritch. But that didn’t count Sigourney out for the sequel film, titled Avatar 2: The Way of Water
Empire magazine unveiled the first images of Sigourney‘s new role in the movie – and it was revealed she’ll be playing Kiri, who is the adopted daughter of Jake Sully and Neytiri.
“I felt strongly that Kiri would feel awkward a lot of the time. She’s searching for who she is. I was thrilled to be given that challenge by Jim [James Cameron, director].
