Edie Falco Thought Avatar Sequel Came Out Years Ago And Flopped At Box Office

The Way of Water has already grossed more than $500 million (£412 million) worldwide, per Deadline.

Edie, who famously starred in HBO’s The Sopranos, told The View that she still hasn’t seen the fantasy spectacle — and had originally hoped to portray one of the Na’vi aliens.

“Well, I wanted to be blue,” she explained. “I was excited — I was going to be blue and very tall. … I didn’t get either of those things. But I did get that exoskeleton, and that was pretty darn cool. All of this is so out of the realm of anything I’ve ever done!”

James Cameron recently told IndieWire he started writing all four sequels to 2009’s Avatar in 2013.

He said huge technical hurdles had to be overcome to properly motion-capture the actors, film scenes underwater, and bring the fictional planet of Pandora to life.

As for Edie, the Emmy-winning actor jokingly told The View that her release-date flub might get her in trouble: “I will never work again because I said that.”
