Kate Winslet called it 'just magical' to have been in a movie that is as beloved today as the day it came out.
The film, also starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver and more, stars Winslet as Ronal. The"Mare of Easttown" star described her character as the"female warrior goddess leader of the Metkayina, the water tribe" on Pandora.
Winslet noted that Ronal is"the matriarch" of her clan and will"come up against" Saldaña's character, Neytiri, because"you can't have two matriarchs." She teased,"There are some sparks that fly.""It was a wonderful role," she added."My character is also pregnant, so she's this very kind of agile, capable, interesting, strong woman. I was really thrilled to be a part of it.
Winslet said Saldaña was"really generous in sharing with me the things that she had developed for her character," which helped make it so that it felt like Ronal"had always sort of been there -- we just hadn't actually met her yet." Regarding how she learned to hold her breath underwater for upwards of seven minutes, Winslet said,"I couldn't believe what I was capable of."
"It was really fascinating, actually, to learn something new at a time in my life when, you know, I didn't necessarily think I was going to get to do that kind of thing," she continued."So it was really cool."
