The actor, who will somehow return as the villainous Colonel Quaritch in the franchise's four sequels, was asked whether the new film could surpass the global box office record achieved by Avengers: Endgame in 2019.
Lang, obviously recalling 
that Endgame had to surpass 2009 film Avatar to claim the victory, confidently told The National: "I expect so."
This is a bold prediction considering the film's director has even expressed his worry that the world is no longer interested in the universe of Pandora.
The director, who has been hard at work on the follow-up to his 2009 blockbuster for several years now, revealed he was relieved to see Avengers: Endgame make so much money as it’s “demonstrable proof that people will still go to movie theatres”.
The Avatar sequels wil reunite Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana and Sigourney Weaver, alongside new cast members Kate Winslet, Vin Diesel, Jermaine Clement, Michelle Yeoh and Edie Falco.Earlier this year, Avatar fans were treated to their first new look at the world of Pandora in just over 10 years.
Avatar 2 is scheduled for release in cinemas on 17 December 2021.
