Will Sigourney return as Grace in A2?

[chawk1993]

I don't know if a thread for this has been posted up. if there is I'm really sorry. Anyway back to the question at hand. I read on the small article on Comingsoon.net (or whatever) that was above a french video interview with Sigourney Weaver. From the text it hinted that Sigourney's character from Avatar Grace might come back from 'dead'. What do you guys think? Check out the poll.

Maybe. I'd love it if she did, but not too sure if she will or not.
Her avatar would still be alive though, so it's easily done if JC wants her to.

No. Grace Augustine is a good character and i like her much. (my nr. 3 after nytiri and Trudy) but it wouldnt be good for the story if she get back from the death.

The only part of Grace that's dead is her human body. So far as we know, her avatar is still alive. Her consciousness was successfully "uploaded" to Eywa, as you see that "nerve tunnel" but it ends in white light instead of her avatar's point of view.

Now, here's the thing. The RDA made the mistake of thinking that the Na'vi are the ones in charge of Pandora. It's the whole basis for the Avatar program, after all. The whole premise is wrong, the one in charge is really Eywa, but they have no way of knowing this fact. Grace's research combined with Eywa's intervention in the final battle will show them that there is a much greater power at work...

...and they will try to control it. If that fails, they will eradicate it.

Eywa will need a way to communicate with the humans more or less directly. This is the only way there will ever be a peaceful solution, and the alternative is much worse. There's really only one way to accomplish this, and it's very simple and elegant:

A prophet.

Grace.

All the pieces are already in place. Grace's avatar is presumably still alive, and her consciousness is within Eywa. They are learning (or have learned) all there is to know about each other. When Eywa sends Grace's consciousness back into her avatar, this level of knowledge will make the "new Grace" very powerful. She will essentially be able to speak with Eywa's voice and do pretty much anything Eywa can do. Most importantly, she will be able to communicate with the humans on Eywa's behalf, and hopefully reach a compromise.

Am I drawing a parallel to Lord of the Rings here? Absolutely. Grace is Gandalf. The Grace we've seen so far is Gandalf the Grey. The Grace we have yet to see is Gandalf the White. Gandalf is killed in the first film, but in the second film, the primary deity sends him back in a much more powerful form to finish what he started.

Interesting... I had wondered if she might be different when she returned (part of Eywa's knowledge, perhaps?), but being able to speak to Eywa and to humans/Na'vi directly? Interesting idea.

[Vision89]

yeapp, would be cool :D

The idea of Grace turning back from death as Eywa's prophet is very interesting... I like it!

[superpidrooo]

I´m not sure of that because it would be too unreal, I know would be interesting too because is the PANDORA´s magic... never mind whatever happens I´ll like it

[Shatnerpossum]

If she isn't exactly "brought back to life" I still think she should be the narrator, have her voice in it!

I love her so very much... I can't wait to see her again in Avatar 2.
