After Avatar star Sigourney Weaver said that Anya Taylor-Joy should be in the sci-fi franchise, the Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga star couldn't be on board.

"It is my dream to be Na'vi. I watched that movie eight times in a row once," Taylor-Joy told Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet for her and Weaver's new movie, The Gorge. "I was sad," she quipped. "It's a long movie, yeah… It was after a party, it was the perfect thing."

There are at least three more Avatar movies on the way, which will see Weaver reprise her role as Kiri, the daughter of Dr. Grace Augustine who was adopted by Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) and Jake (Sam Worthington).
