James Cameron's 'Avatar' sequels are the most awaited ones in spite of the fact that its been eleven years since the original hit the screens and became the biggest blockbuster hit in history. The Oscar winning director has completed filming 'Avatar 2' in New Zealand and 'Avatar 3' is also almost done and the extensive post-production works have already begun.

Now its been revealed that Kate Winslet is playing an important role in 'Avatar 2' and 'Avatar 3' and in her recent interview she has opened up about it after showering praise on Cameron and her excitement of reuniting with him after 23 years since 'Titanic'.

Winslet has stated "I had to learn how to free-dive to play that role in Avatar, and that was just incredible. My longest breath-hold was seven minutes and 14 seconds, like crazy, crazy stuff.” She stops herself, afraid that she’s given away too much on the top-secret project. “Oh no, actually, I can’t. Yeah, I play a water person. I am a water person,”

Producer John Landau has shared a pic of Kate Winslet shooting underwater and revealed her presence in the films. Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana return as the main leads playing Jake Sully and Neytri while Giovanni Ribisi, Sigourney Weaver and Stephen Lang will also reprise their roles.

'Avatar 2' is slated for release on 16th December 2022 while 'Avatar 3' will hit the screens worldwide on 21st December 2023.
