Michelle Rodriguez didn’t want to return for more Avatar movies, despite James Cameron’s idea to bring her back. In the first film, she played pilot Trudy, a confidante to Jake Sully who sacrificed herself to save the Na’vi.
"Dude, when I saw Jim [Cameron] recently, he was like, 'I was thinking, What if Michelle came back? A lot of the other characters came back [in The Way of Water],'" Rodriguez said to Vanity Fair. "I was like, 'You can't do that – I died as a martyr. Jim, I came back in Resident Evil, I wasn't supposed to. I came back in Machete, I wasn't supposed to. I came back with Letty, I wasn't supposed to. We can't do a fourth, that would be overkill!'
