He marked Avatar 2 with a pretty incredible performance that we heard a lot about around the release. She is Kate Winslet, who broke the freediving record for the occasion, which we will tell you about in detail here.
Good news! His return was confirmed by director James Cameron himself, as reported Deadline. During an interview with People magazine, he mentioned that he will play the character of Ronal again. While her role was rather brief in Avatar The Way of Water, Cameron is hinting here that Kate Winslet will be seen a bit more in Episode 3.
The director indicates that he “went to school” with a real shaman for the needs of Avatar 3, which hits theaters on December 17, 2025. Last June, Disney decided to push back the release dates of all the suites.
Thus, this Episode 3, which was supposed to be released on December 18, 2024, will be released a year later than planned, i.e. 3 to 3 years after Avatar 2. As for Avatar 4, which was due for release on December 16, 2026, it was. 3 years late! The new date is December 2029.
Opus 5, originally scheduled for December 20, 2028, has also been delayed. The result of the saga will appear on the screens in December 2031!
Released in theaters on December 14, 2022, Avatar: The Way of Water topped the worldwide box office, grossing $2.3 billion. In France, 14.2 million viewers flocked to theaters.
Who will star in AVATAR 3?
The main characters of the saga will be there: Jake Sully, played by Sam Worthington, and Neytir, played by Zoe Saldana. Big bad Miles Quaritch, played by Stephen Lang, will also be there.
Jake Neytir’s children will also return, except for Netyam, who died in The Way of Water. So Britannia Dalton (Loak), Trinity Jo-Lee Bliss (Tuck), Sigourney Weaver (Ciri) and Jack Champion (Spider-Man) will return.
Michelle Yeoh, Oscar winner for Everything Everywhere at Once, also joins the Avatar family as scientist Karine Moggi.
On the other hand, David Thewlis, who is well known to the public for his role as Remus Lupine in the Harry Potter saga, will play a boat named Peylak. As for Warang, the leader of the Ash tribe, he will be portrayed by actress Oona Chaplin.
AVATAR 3, what will it be about?
After The Way of Water, Avatar 3 should be subtitled The Seed Bearer. The work, already shot, is currently in post-production. Little is known about the specific plot of this 3rd iteration, but James Cameron and producer Jon Landau are spilling a few little secrets on the matter.
In Avatar 3, the Ash People will be revealed: they will be a Na’vi ethnic group who are not really benevolent, unlike the Metkaina and Omakaya we already know. They will be the villains of this new adventure.
“There are good people and bad people. It’s the same on the boat side. People don’t often think of themselves as bad, and it will be the same for Avatar 3. What is the root cause of their evolution? Why have they shifted to what we perceive as bad? There will be factors that we don’t. We know what needs to be considered.”Producer John Landau explained.
Based on the events of The Way of Water and how this second opus ended, some predictions can now be made.
Therefore, we can assume that Kiri, Grace’s daughter (also played by Sigourney Weaver) will become one of the central characters of the saga. Born quite inexplicably and uniquely susceptible to the spirit of Eiva (the boat deity), he is undoubtedly destined for a particular destiny.
Perhaps he will be the one to restore the balance of Pandora, and who – why not? – Replants the house tree that was destroyed by the earthlings at the end of the first part (which would match the title of this third film). As for Loak, the second son of Jake and Neytiri, we can well imagine that he will continue to follow the “way of water”.
He will undoubtedly become the main figure of the Metkaina clan and the main character of the fourth film, which is currently being filmed, and the title of which can already be a serious hint: Avatar: Rider of Tulkun.
Finally, like his father Colonel Quaritch, it’s a safe bet that Spider-Man will become the main antagonist of the saga, and likely a complex and ambiguous character. Torn between his adopted family and his biological origins, we can imagine him oscillating between the light and the dark side, like Kylo Ren in the Star Wars saga.
