James Cameron Teases Fire Element in AVATAR 3 and Reveals Two New Cultures it Will Introduce
As Avatar: The Way of Water continues to dominate the box office nearing $2 Billion worldwide, director James Cameron is teasing the elements of the next installment of the franchise.
During a brief chat with Deadline on the red carpet of the Critics Choice Awards, Cameron shared a bit of new info on Avatar 3 teasing the fire element of the film and revealing that two new cultures would be introduced. He said:
“Fire has a symbolic purpose in the film and there’s a culture that is specifically around that concept. That’s probably saying too much as we speak.”
Cameron previously talked a little bit about the representation of fire in Avatar 3, saying:
“To show cultures different from those I have already shown. The fire will be represented by the ‘Ash People.’ I want to reveal the Na’vi from another angle because, for the moment, I have only shown their good sides. In the early films, there are very negative human examples and very positive Na’vi examples. In Avatar 3, we’ll have the opposite.”
The filmmaker went on to reveal that two other new cultures will be introduced in the next movie, saying:
“You’re going to meet 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 film, and it kind of rove a little more freely around the world of Pandora to different places.”
Cameron’s wife Suzy Amis then jumped in to say, “You need a very secure seatbelt,” and Cameron concluded by saying, “it’s a rocket sled.” You can check out the video below.
Avatar 3 is currently scheduled for release on Dec. 20, 2024
