Deadline confirmed that the Travis Manawa actor will play Tonowari, the leader of reef clan Metkayina, in all sequels, some of which are reported to be set 'underwater.'
Curtis will join the likes of returning cast members Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana and Sigourney Weaver when production finally begins on the Avatar 2 next year.
The production will reportedly work around Curtis' schedule for The Walking Dead spin-off he heads up alongside Kim Dickens and Frank Dillane. With season three a matter of weeks away, a fourth season was confirmed by AMC just last month.
The New Zealand-born actor's previous credits also include The Piano and Training Day.
James Cameron's sequels recently had their production dates shifted, but the first of four follow-ups is due to be released 18 December 2020 with the remaining three entires to be fanned out up until 2025.
