Zoe Saldanahas been telling Avatar.

The actress spoke to us at the James Cameron to New Zealand where the sequels will be filmed.

"I went down to the studio that they've been setting up for the past three years. It was wonderful," Saldana said.

"Jim took us and gave us a tour of all the reference pictures, telling us the stories. I haven't been able to read the scripts. They're still working on them.

"We kind of get choked up. [Cameron] gets emotional telling us about the story. I get emotional hearing about it, so I'm looking forward to it."

Sam Worthington has also been confirmed to be returning to the sequels - which will start shooting back-to-back next year.

The films are scheduled for release at Christmas in 2016, 2017 and in late 2018.
