‘Avatar: Fire & Ash’ Pits Na’vi Against Na’vi This December

Picking up following the events of 2022’s Avatar: The Way of Water, which itself grossed $2.32 billion worldwide following the first Avatar’s $2.92 billion worldwide box office takings, Avatar: Fire and Ash will expand the franchise even further, introducing several new tribes of Na’vi. Taking center stage in the most recent trailer is Oona Chaplin (Game of Thrones, Taboo) as Varang, the leader of one of these new tribes of Na’vi — the volcano-dwelling “Ash People.”

Varang promises to be the biggest threat that Jake Sully and his family have ever faced, with Stephen Lang’s Colonel Miles Quaritch also set to return and once again bring drama and violence to the Sully’s door. James Cameron has previously revealed details about the “Ash people,” stating that they will represent an element that has yet to be explored in the world of Avatar.

“This film goes much deeper on our characters and deep emotional consequences for them that threatens their relationships with each other, test their bonds. And that’s why I say I think the movie is simultaneously unexpected. Based on what you think you’ve seen six hours into the Avatar saga so far between the first film and the second film, and it will also be what you crave. I think what you crave as an audience is not just more beautiful imagery. We have that, of course we have that, we have an amazing detailed, rich world and the imaginations of a lot of great artists that go into it. by this point, I believe we care about the journey of these people.”
