Edie Falco says she filmed her 'Avatar: The Way of Water' scenes 4 years ago and thought the movie was already released

• Edie Falco said on "The View" Monday that she shot her scenes for "Avatar 2" four years ago.
• She had no idea until recently that the movie hadn't been released yet.

Edie Falco only learned recently that the sequel to "Avatar" hadn't been in theaters yet.

The actor revealed on "The View" Monday that she's been busy so she hasn't kept up on the progress of the movie, as she filmed her scenes four years ago.

"The second 'Avatar' I shot I think four years ago," she said on the show. "I've been busy and doing stuff. 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," she continued. "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."

In the movie, Falco plays General Frances Ardmore who is the latest human to lead the Resources Development Administration back to Pandora to colonize it.

Though she doesn't get a lot of screen time in "The Way of Water," it's likely we'll see more of her character as the story goes on in the future sequels.

But Falco admitted there's one letdown to playing General Ardmore.

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

"Avatar: The Way of Water" is currently in theaters.
