Chaplin, who played Talisa Stark, joins returning cast members Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver and Sam Worthington for the follow-ups which will hit cinemas from 2020.
The sequel's plots are still under wraps although, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Chaplin will play Varang, a strong and vibrant central character who spans the entire length of the instalments which Cameron has stated will “create a saga.”
Avatar was released in 2009 meaning the first sequel will arrive a whole decade later. All four films have already been written.
The film's release dates are as follows:
Avatar 2 - 18 December 2020
Avatar 3 - 17 December 2021
Avatar 4 - 20 December 2024
Avatar 5 - 19 December 2025
Chaplin, the granddaughter of Charlie Chaplin, was most recently seen in BBC series Taboo alongside Tom Hardy.
