Avatar actress Zoe Saldana is pleased there will be a sequel to the movie

Avatar actress Zoe Saldana says she is glad there will be a sequel to the movie as she knows she still has a job.

The 31-year-old plays the role of Na’vi princess Neytiri in James Cameron’s new movie and the director has confirmed that there will be a sequel.

Saldana also starred as Uhura in the Star Trek re-make earlier this year and that has also had a sequel confirmed.

She told E! Online: “I mean, I’m just grateful that between Star Trek II and Avatar II, I’m employed.

“Jim [Cameron] has proven once again that even though he takes a decade between his projects, he promises to deliver you the most amazing adventure ever.”
