So far, all we know is she&#8217;ll be playing a character called Ronal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kate and I have been looking for something to do together for 20 years, since our collaboration on\u00a0<em><strong>Titanic<\/strong>,<\/em>\u00a0which was one of the most rewarding of my career,&#8221; Cameron told <a href=\"http:\/\/deadline.com\/2017\/10\/kate-winslet-avatar-2-titanic-reunion-titanic-helmer-james-cameron-1202181471\/\">Deadline<\/a>. &#8220;I can\u2019t wait to see her bring the character of Ronal to life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s unclear how many of the four remaining\u00a0<em><strong>Avatar<\/strong><\/em> sequels Winslet will be appearing in, but as it&#8217;s James Cameron and he doesn&#8217;t like to go halfway, we&#8217;re guessing probably all of them.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the sequels back in March 2017, Cameron told\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestar.com\/entertainment\/television\/2017\/03\/09\/james-cameron-on-the-lure-of-atlantis-and-making-avatar-2-3-4-and-5.html\">The Star<\/a>: &#8220;What people have to understand is that this is a cadence of releases. So we\u2019re not making\u00a0<em><strong>Avatar 2<\/strong><\/em>. We\u2019re making<em><strong>\u00a0Avatar 2<\/strong><\/em>,\u00a0<em><strong>3<\/strong><\/em>,<em><strong>\u00a04<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em><strong>5<\/strong><\/em>. It\u2019s an epic undertaking. It\u2019s not unlike building the Three Gorges dam.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So I know where I\u2019m going to be for the next eight years of my life. It\u2019s not an unreasonable time frame if you think about it. It took us four-and-a-half years to make one movie and now we\u2019re making four. We\u2019re full tilt boogie right now. This is my day job and pretty soon we\u2019ll be 24-7. We\u2019re pretty well designed on all our creatures and sets. It\u2019s pretty exciting stuff. I wish I could share with the world. But we have to preserve a certain amount of showmanship and we\u2019re going to draw that curtain when the time is right.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The\u00a0<em>Avatar\u00a0<\/em>sequels will be released on 18\u00a0December 2020, 17\u00a0December 2021,\u00a020\u00a0December 2024\u00a0and 19\u00a0December 2025.
