The confirmation of Yeoh’s addition came from the official Twitter page of the movie series. The announcement indicates that the actress will appear both in “Avatar 2” and “Avatar 3” for the role of Dr. Karina Mogue. It is unclear, though, whether this meant Yeoh has just signed her “Avatar” deal or if she has been filming with the cast and crew prior to breaking the news.
