"Avatar 2" is hitting some bumps along its production road as director James Cameron is having some difficulties trying to locate the best possible technology that will translate his vision of the film. On the upside, there is no more doubt that the movie is coming and some unearthed interviews reveal that the director himself has already spilled some beans on what fans can expect for the sequel.

It was previously speculated that Stephen Lang will be returning in "Avatar 2" to reprise his role as Col. Miles Quaritch. It was hard to believe for some fans of the movie as the character did have a very convincing death. But surprisingly enough, these speculations are not without basis. A 2013 interview by Deadline with director James Cameron has already exclusively revealed that Lang will be returning for the next three films of the franchise.

Cameron says, "Steven was so memorable in the first film, we're privileged to have him back. I'm not going to say exactly how we're bringing him back, but it's a science fiction story, after all. His character will evolve into really unexpected places across the arc of our new three-film saga. I really look forward to working with such a gifted actor, who's also become a good friend."

This may also become a bit of a good news for fans: Cameron confirmed that Lang will not be your "regular" bad guy anymore. He explained that when the character of Col. Miles Quaritch comes back, he will be a cross between Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator and Star Wars' iconic Darth Vader. Pretty exciting indeed.

While there have not been much about the movie in terms of plot and casting, fans have been satisfying themselves with some interesting stuff on the grapevine, such as the supposed prison theme for the upcoming installment. Also something to look forward to is the "Avatar" comic book series coming from Dark Horse.
