Vin Diesel has announced on Instagram that he has joined the star-studded cast of _Avatar_  sequels. In a video that seems to have been filmed on the sets of Avatar films _,_ Diesel appeared alongside James Cameron, who confirmed that he has bagged a role in the movie.

The pair then quipped that it’s a top secret and both Diesel and the audience need to be flashed with Men in Black’s famed memory-eraser device, neuralyser, so as to wipe any memory of this revelation that has been made.

Back in November 2018, Cameron confirmed that he’d wrapped filming the motion capture portions of Avatar 2 and Avatar 3, with filming on the live-action elements due to begin in spring.
