Acclaimed film star Sigourney Weaver has not only begun work on "there's a very good reason" behind the choice. It's therefore not surprising she's already on board for 4 and 5.
Set in the 22nd century and focused on the human endeavor to settle in the land of Pandora for mining purposes, the original film starred remain dependent upon the success of Avatar 2 and 3.

Alien 5, Weaver explained how her time is currently monopolized, spent mainly with Cameron on his epic four film rollout.
We almost started to do it when I was working with James Cameron. But by the time we were put off by Fox, Neill had gotten so many jobs that we’d have to wait probably. I’m busy doing Avatar 4and 5. I love working with Neill and I think he’d do a terrific job, and James Cameron really thinks it’s a great idea, so you never know. Right now, I think Neill’s got like three projects going at once.
Avatar 2, the first of Cameron's enormous undertaking, with its Avatar 5 will premiere in 2025, according to schedule. Avatar 2 will now hit theaters on December 18, 2020 – notwithstanding any further delays.
Almost ten years since the original, fans wait in anticipation for the Cameron saga. With its budget and star power it'd be difficult to disappoint, although perhaps he's gone too far and stretched the plot over too many sequels. Yet, if one looks at the entire universe he built over the scope of just one movie, it's not difficult to imagine how this legendary filmmaker could fill the space of four sequels. It will be exciting to see what Cameron has up his sleeve in the coming years, and at the very least, fans can look forward to four sequels full of Sigourney Weaver.
