‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ - Edie Falco reveals that she thought movie already released and flopped

Avatar: The Way of Water's appearance of Edie Falco as General Frances Ardmore, a new military leader on Pandora, is one of the film's most pleasantly surprising moments.

As Earth is deteriorating and humanity will soon require a new, permanent home, Ardmore is on a quest to make Pandora hospitable for humans. Those who have not seen the movie yet can be excused for not knowing that Falco plays a significant supporting part in the "Avatar" trilogy because the four-time Emmy winner was not prominently featured in any promotional materials. Even Falco herself was unaware of the film's intended release date.

Falco recently admitted during an interview that she shot her parts for "Avatar: The Way of Water" more than four years ago. Falco had thought the movie had already been released in theatres and didn't do too well because there had been so much time between the time of filming and the release date.



Falco remarked that she had seen the first one when it came out. She said that she had shot the second "Avatar" four years ago.

Since then she has been active and working. She continued that she didn't hear anything about "Avatar," so when someone brought it up, she confessed that she had presumed it came out and it didn't perform very well because she didn't hear about it.

She then continued that she recently responded to someone who told her that “Avatar" is going to be released and she remarked that "it hasn't come out yet?"

"Avatar: The Way of Water" has not yet been seen by Falco. One of the only humans in the sequel is her character, to which Falco retorted that she wanted to be blue! She further remarked, “I wanted to be blue! I was excited I’d be blue and very tall. I didn’t get either of those things.”

Although Falco's portrayal of General Ardmore in "Avatar: The Way of Water" is only briefly seen, the stage is prepared for the character to possibly develop into a major antagonist in the series.

Currently "Avatar: The Way of Water." is showing in cinemas across the country.
