James Cameron Says Lo'ak Will Be the Narrator in AVATAR 3 and His Character Will Have a Bigger Role

The second Avatar movie, Avatar: The Way of Water, is finally out, and with its success, we are assured that we will see the third film in the franchise, followed by the fourth and fifth. Director James Cameron has already shot the third movie, so all he has to do is edit and fine tune it before its December release next year. We don’t know the film’s name or synopsis yet, but Cameron has given us a bit of insight into who the film will focus on.

In a recent interview with Variety, Cameron explained:

“Lo’ak really emerged as a character that people went with. So I might find ways to…he’s already the narrator. I’m giving away something here, but this is OK. I think it could be intriguing for people to think about what’s coming. Jake was our voiceover narrator for movie one and for movie two, and we have a different narrator for each of the subsequent films. We see it through the eyes of a different character. Movie three is through Lo’ak’s eyes.”

As far as what he plans to do to work on the movie before it comes out, Cameron said:

“I’m going to take a moment when the dust clears to assess what people loved and what they responded to the most in this current release, and then I may go back and tinker a little bit [with ‘Avatar 3’]. We may go back and do a couple of moments here and there. It won’t be radical, but maybe fine-tune it a bit to emphasize that which people are responding to.”

Avatar 3 will hit theaters on December 20, 2024. Are you excited for the next chapter in the story?
