Stephen Lang to reprise role in 'Avatar' sequels

Actor Stephen Lang is set to reprise his role as Colonel Miles Quaritch in the upcoming four sequels of the film "Avatar".

The 64-year-old's character in the film was shown as dying in the end of the 2009 blockbusted, but the franchise's director and creator James Cameron has confirmed Lang will reprise his role in all of the upcoming instalments, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"The interesting concept of the 'Avatar' sequels is it's pretty much the same characters," Cameron told Empire magazine.

"There are new characters and a lot of new settings and creatures, so I'm taking characters you know and putting them in unfamiliar places and moving them on this greater journey. But it's not a whole bunch of new characters every time. There's not a new villain every time, which is interesting.

"Same guy. Same motherf***er through all four movies. He is so good and he just gets better. I know Stephen Lang is going to knock this out of the park," he added.
