Everyone wants Michelle Yeoh involved in their movies, and who could blame them? She’s the originator of the “Madame Morrible, MM, flip it around, Wicked Witch!” who knows what else her mind could come up with on another movie set. James Cameron has been hoping to bring Yeoh onto Pandora and has found the perfect opportunity to bring her on board for Avatar 4, if there is one. “Michelle is definitely going to be in 4, if we make 4,” Cameron shares to TVBS News, per People. He already has a vision in store for her: she would be a Na’vi named Paktuelat, but didn’t specify what tribe she would be a part of. Cameron has already conquered land, sea, and fire in the world of Pandora, but maybe there’s a tribe of Na’vi living underground. The official X account for the Avatar films previously stated that Yeoh would play a character named Dr. Karina Mogue. But it might be possible that Cameron thought of another role for her, or maybe she transforms into a Na’vi, like how Jake Sully did in the first film.

Despite making over $1 billion globally, Cameron is still concerned about whether a fourth film would be approved by Disney. “So, here’s the thing: the movie industry is depressed right now. Avatar 3 cost a lot of money. We have to do well in order to continue. We have to do well, and we need to figure out how to make Avatar movies more inexpensively in order to continue,” he explains. Either way, maybe Yeoh can at least act out her part in the press conference Cameron promises to host if the fourth and fifth movies don’t get made.
