According to a report by the US entertainment magazine Variety, the 56-year-old Ipoh-born actress will be portraying scientist Dr Karina Mogue in Canadian director James Cameron’s upcoming sequels to the 2009 Hollywood smash hit. “Throughout her career, Michelle has always created unique and memorable characters,” Cameron says in the report.With a worldwide gross of over US$2.7bil, Avatar is the reigning all-time global box-office champion and Cameron has lined up four sequels to the movie – Avatar 2 on Dec 18, 2020; Avatar 3 on Dec 17, 2021; Avatar 4 on Dec 20, 2024; and Avatar 5 on Dec 19, 2025.
Best known for her roles in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Police Story 3: Super Cop, and as a Bond girl in Tomorrow Never Dies, the Malaysian star was most recently seen in Yuen Woo-ping’s Master Z: The Ip Man Legacy, and has been signed to star in her own spin-off series from Star Trek: Discovery.Tags / Keywords:
