On the red carpet for the premiere ofStar Trek: Section 31, Yeoh talked toScreen Rant’s own Liam Crowley about her experience working onAvatar 4. Comparing it toStar Trek: Section 31, sheclaimed that working on theAvatarmovies was a completely different experience. The Oscar winner further stated that “you never know what to expect” from Cameron. Read Yeoh’s full quote below:
No, it’s going to be completely different. James [Cameron], you never know what to expect from him. So, I’m really, really looking forward to stepping back into that world because it’s a very different world with the Avatars and things like that. It’s not the same. It’s not the same kind of acting, but it’s the same kind of creativity and imagination.
