Avatar Fire and Ash Trailer Review: James Cameron Expands Pandora’s Darkest Conflict Yet
James Cameron, mastermind of the Avatar series, returns with Avatar: Fire and Ash, the eagerly awaited third chapter in the sweeping saga of Pandora. Coming on December 19, the just-out trailer shows fans a glimpse of a darker, more action-packed chapter of the Na'vi saga while further developing the bold multi-film saga Cameron has envisioned.
Storyline
The trailer begins with Varang, the Ash People leader, discussing the history of his people's rejection of Eywa, the sacred god of the Na'vi. From here, we are set up for internal conflict among Pandora's tribes. Shortly thereafter, we find ourselves face-to-face with Colonel Miles Quaritch, once again resurrected, joining forces with Varang to destroy Pandora, a burning rampage that jeopardizes the balance of the planet. The video also teases bigger worldbuilding, with the introduction of the Wind Traders, a group of Na'vi who will be more prominent in the fourth film. Through these reveals, old favorites resurface—Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), Kiri (Sigourney Weaver), Lo'ak (Britain Dalton), Tuk (Trinity Bliss), and others—who find themselves in the midst of the mounting strife that will determine Pandora's destiny.
