'Avatar 2' Star Edie Falco Thought Movie Had Already Been Released And Didn't Do Well

Edie Falco didn't know "Avatar 2's" release plans.

Falco was among the new cast members of "Avatar: The Way of Water." She plays General Frances Ardmore, a military commander who is on a mission to make Pandora hospitable for the human race because Earth is dying.

In an interview on ABC's "The View," Falco admitted she thought the movie was released long ago because she filmed it over four years ago. She also thought it flopped at the box office after not hearing much buzz.

"I saw the first one when it was out," Falco said. "The second 'Avatar' I shot four years ago. And then I've been busy, I'm doing stuff, and then somebody mentioned 'Avatar' and I thought, 'Oh, I guess it came out and it didn't do very well because I didn't hear anything about it.'"

"It happens! Someone recently said, 'Avatar' is coming out,' and I said, 'Oh, it hasn't come out yet?' I will never work again because I said that," the four-time Emmy winner shared, adding that she hasn't watched the "Avatar" sequel yet.

Her character is one of the few human characters in the movie. When asked to describe Ardmore, Falco said she was a "villain."

"I would describe her as a villain from where I stand right now," she explained. "I don't think that's what she thought when she was going there. What she thought was doing good for you, you know, the Earth, but it certainly was not doing good for Pandora."

Falco also admitted that she was a bit disappointed with her role because she wanted to be among the Na'vi, the blue people living in Pandora.

"I wanted to be blue! I was excited I'd be blue and very tall. I didn't get either of those things," she said.

Aside from Falco, Kate Winslet also joined the sequel. While discussing the film last year, producer Jon Landau shared that one of his fondest memories about the "Avatar 2" production involved the "Titanic" actress.

"One of my favorite memories was we had this circular tank, maybe 40 feet wide, with a big glass portal in it. I walked by one day and I see Kate Winslet walking on the bottom of the tank," Landau told Entertainment Weekly. "She's walking towards me and sees me in the window, and she just waves, gets to the end of the wall, turns around, and walks all the way back."

"Avatar 2" earned $134 million in domestic sales upon its opening day Friday and made another $301 million in international ticket sales.

The sequel to the 2009 blockbuster movie has already made $435 million and is expected to pass $500 million in global ticket sales soon.

"Avatar: The Way of Water" is now playing in theaters nationwide.
