Some new concept art has emerged James Cameronthe next movie Avatar: Fire and Ashand features the Ash Clan of the Na’vi, with Varang as their “no-nonsense figurehead”.
Cameron offered more insight into the Varang in an interview with Empire, saying: “Varang is the leader of a people who have gone through incredible hardship. She is hardened by it.
“He continues joking: “He will do anything for them, even things we would consider evil. One thing we wanted to do in this film was not be simplistic black and white.”
The director added: “We’re trying to evolve beyond the ‘all humans are bad, all Na’vi are good’ paradigm.”
Varang is played by Oona Chaplinand when talking about her, Cameron says that “she’s so good that I didn’t fully appreciate how good her performance was until we got the animation back on Wētā. She’s an enemy, an antagonistic character, but [Chaplin] It makes her feel so real and alive.
We also have some concept art featuring the Wind Merchants, who travel on giant creatures from Pandora to soar in the clouds.
Cameron spoke about these characters saying: “They are nomadic traders, equivalent to the camel caravans of the Spice Route in the Middle Ages. And you know, they’re just fun.
“Like all Na’vi, they live in symbiosis with their creatures.” Get ready to take flight in a whole new way. “If you have nautical blood in your veins, you will want to be part of it [their] ship,” promises Cameron. All aboard!”
Speaking previously about the film, Cameron said the Ash People are a reflection of the worst side of N’avi, suggesting he drew inspiration from reality when he noted: “We have a lot of anger and a lot of anger in the film.” world we live in now.”
He also explains that the new N’avi tribe will be nomadic and travel by air; however, the Ash People “were destroyed by volcanic eruptions, so they resent nature and everything the forest Na’vi preach.”
Cameron previously said: “It’s so rewarding to have that love for the world of Pandora and these characters that my team has worked on for over 18 years.
“I can’t wait to show you what we’re working on Avatara3. Every day, when I see new shots, it’s like Christmas morning. The characters are so alive and everything seems so real.
“As you would expect, it’s a crazy adventure but the emotional stakes are also very high, more than ever. We’re entering really challenging territory for all the characters you know and love.
“There are new characters, especially one we think you’ll love or love to hate. You’ll see more of the planet Pandora than you’ve ever seen before.
The director also spoke about the film saying, “It’s simply a continuation of the epic. You’ll see new environments, new characters. The characters that you know and love will be challenged even more and go through some trials and tribulations. I think it’s going to be a bigger ride. harder than the A2, in a good way.”
Cameron also offered some insights on the matter Avatara3 and who the film will focus on, saying, “Lo’ak really emerged as a character that people connected with. So I could find ways to… he’s already the narrator. I’m giving something away here, but that’s okay.
“I think it might be intriguing for people to think about what’s going to happen. Jake was our voice-over narrator for the first and second films, and we have a different narrator for each of the subsequent films. We see it through the eyes of a different character. The third film is seen through Lo’ak’s eyes.”
Cameron also teased the fire element of the third film and revealed that two new cultures would be introduced, saying: “Fire has a symbolic purpose in the film and there is a culture that specifically revolves around that concept. That’s probably saying too much as we speak.”
Cameron previously talked a bit about the depiction of fire Avatara3saying, “Showing different cultures than I’ve already shown. Fire will be represented by the “People of the Ash”.
“I want to reveal the Na’vi from another angle because, for now, I have only shown their positive sides. In the early films there are very negative human examples and very positive Na’vi examples. In Avatar 3, we will have the opposite.”
The director revealed that two more new cultures will be introduced in the next film, saying: “You will encounter two completely new cultures in the next film.
“We met the Omaticaya, we met the Metkayina, and you’re going to meet two new cultures in the next movie, and kind of wander a little more freely in the world of Pandora in different places.”
It was also recently teased that the film will be “bigger than you can imagine.” The question is: will the next sequels be able to break the $2 billion barrier at the box office like the first two films? One thing is for sure, Cameron has the magic touch with three of the four highest grossing films of all time being his films.
Movie stars Zoe Saldana, Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, Stefano LangCliff Curtis, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Edie Falco, Jemaine ClementAND Kate Winslet.
Avatar: Fire and Ash will be released in theaters on December 25, 2025.
