James Cameron’s upcoming Avatar 2 packs a stellar array of actors, however bringing Vin Diesel aboard is its most impressed and meta casting choice but.
The upcoming Avatar sequel’s Vin Diesel casting has created a surprisingly meta hyperlink to the Quick & Livid franchise. James Cameron’s long-awaited Avatar 2 lastly appears set for a December 16, 2022 launch following an extended collection of delays stretching again to 2013, one yr earlier than the primary Avatar sequel was initially set to debut in theatres. Nonetheless, regardless of these setbacks, the Avatar 2 sequel completed filming in September 2020, with Cameron and his manufacturing workforce presently remaining very tight-lipped on the sequel’s precise story beats, together with the character of action star Vin Diesel’s as of but undisclosed position.
Nonetheless, one factor that’s sure is the broad nature of Avatar 2’s narrative, which can proceed the story of Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) on the verdant planet of Pandora.

Nonetheless, when an previous menace returns to complete what they began, they are going to be pressured to go away residence and discover the completely different areas of their planet so as to fight the RDA forces as soon as once more and defend their progeny from hurt.
It’s extremely becoming, then, {that a} movie reminiscent of Avatar 2, with its core theme of household, has added Vin Diesel to its stellar forged. Quick & Livid is arguably Diesel’s largest recurring position of his profession, together with his character Dominic Toretto obsessive about defending his “household” of avenue racers from hurt and the regulation. This units up a hilariously meta hyperlink between Quick & Livid and James Cameron’s Avatar franchises, with the pair now intrinsically linked by a shared obsession with the safety of their respective, in-universe households.

On this manner, the irony of casting Vin Diesel in a unique franchise once more centered on household shouldn’t be misplaced Avatar’s James Cameron. Whereas its precise plot particulars stay scarce, Avatar 2 is confirmed to concentrate on the extraordinary lengths Jake and Neytiri will go to to guard their very own household from the returning RDA mining firm. Vin Diesel’s casting in Avatar 2, subsequently, is an ideal meta wrinkle to the upcoming sequel that might be loved by modern audiences returning to the world of Pandora some 13 years after Avatar’s preliminary theatrical launch.
