Avatar 2, one of the most anticipated films coming up in the next several years, will include Sigourney Weaver even though her character died in Avatar.

Weaver said that filming the three sequels to Avatar--they’re all being filmed together--will be “an adventure.”

“It will be awesome. I can’t even imagine what I am taking on —  and what James Cameron is taking on — with filming three Avatars at once, but ... Peter Jackson did it with the Hobbit films, so we have that to look to,” she told Vulture.

She stayed more mum about how she'll appear in the movies despite her character’s death.

“It will be challenging for me. I can’t talk about it, but my part is a little different in each one,” she said.

“I‘ll transform somewhat. We’ll have to talk again when I survive this. For now, I’m going to skittle around and enjoy this leisure time.”

Avatar 2 is slated to hit theaters in 2016, with the other sequels following in 2017 and 2018.

Not much casting-wise is known although Zoe Saldana (Neytiri), Sam Worthington (Jake Sully), and Stephen Lang (Miles Quaritch) are confirmed to be returning, along with Weaver (Grace Augustine).
