10 Biggest Unconfirmed Rumours About 2022 Movies
6. Vin Diesel Joins The Na'vi Family (Avatar 2)
Assuming that Avatar 2 actually hits its current date (even before the pandemic, it was tossed around the release calendar like a rugby ball), it's going to be one of the biggest movies of 2022. It won't need any help in turning a profit, but bringing in one of the biggest movie stars in the world can only bode well for its box-office run.
This rumour comes straight from the horse's mouth, with Mr. Vin Diesel more or less confirming that he'll be appearing in an upcoming Avatar movie. "I haven't filmed yet", he said. "I love [Avatar director] James Cameron and I love the series. I think it’s safe to say that we will be working together."

While this isn't an official confirmation, it does look as though Diesel will be joining the Avatar family in the near future. It might not be in Avatar 2, but with over a year to go before the film is released, there's plenty of time for the actor to shoot his scenes.
The only question is... will he be blue?
