The franchise is one of the most beloved sci-fi series in Hollywood. Not only is star Anya Taylor-Joy a big fan of the franchise, but has hopes to one day step into it.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet for her new movie The Gorge, Taylor-Joy responded to questions about a statement Sigourney Weaver said.
Weaver said she hoped director James Cameron saw The Gorge, and put Taylor-Joy in an Avatar movie as a result. Taylor-Joy said it would be a “dream” of hers to one day be a Na’vi, a species that lives on the moon of Pandora, and serve as the main characters throughout the Avatar films. “It is my dream to be Na’vi.
I watched that movie eight times in a row once,” Taylor-Joy said. “I was sad. “It’s a long movie, yeah… It was after a party, it was the perfect thing.” While it’s unclear if Anya Taylor-Joy will ever get her chance to live out her dream of being a Na’vi, she’ll certainly have plenty of opportunities.
The Avatar franchise has only seen two movies released, but director James Cameron has plans for several more. Sign-up today for access to Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ Up next is Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third entry in the franchise, which is set to release on December 19, 2025.
