There are some more new updates surrounding the next Avatar films, and after learning
recently about the introduction of the Fire Navi in Avatar 3, the new details have stimulated
some theories I have towards the upcoming sequels.
This includes the Fire Navi leader and who has been cast in that role, a big time jump
in place for Avatar 4 and some comments on the Earth
setting in Avatar 5.
In this video, I'm going to be discussing the new details for Avatar 3 and giving my
theories on what this could mean for the film and the universe going forward.

But without further a do, lets dive into the new updates surrounding Avatar 3 and beyond.
So we've been getting quite frequent updates surrounding the future of the Avatar franchise,
with both story developments set in motion and the news on the success of the recently
released Avatar The Way Of Water.
Avatar 2 continues to dominate the worldwide box office, on track to become the 3rd highest
grossing movie in history in a couple of weeks time, which
just shows that audiences around the world are very interested in the continuation of
James Cameron's sci-fi saga.
I've done some recent videos on some of the Avatar 3 details which
include that of the new fire Navi, known as the Ash people, but now we have even more
news on that new clan and other updates on what could come after that with Avatar 4 and
5.
In a new interview with Empire, the producer of the
Avatar films, Jon Landau, has given us some hints on what we can expect in the upcoming
sequels.
On the fire Navi in Avatar 3, Landau said, "they are an aggressive, volcanic race”
of Na’vi whose leader is named Varang, and is being played by Game of Thrones actress
Oona Chaplin, who is also the granddaughter of
the great Charlie Chaplin.
He went on to say that “there are good humans and there are bad humans.
It’s the same thing on the Na’vi side.
Oftentimes, people don’t see themselves as
bad.
What is the root cause of how they evolve into what we perceive as bad?
Maybe there are other factors there that we aren’t aware of.”
In my last video on the fire navi I talked about my theory surrounding Quaritch being
the one to tell this new tribe about what happened with Jake, his history, and his newly
formed alliance with the Metkayina.
I also said that I think this news will only fuel the fire
Navi's current thoughts towards other navi on the planet and kick start a civil war in
Avatar 3.
Of course, Jake, the Metkayina and the Omaticaya still have that big problem to deal
with at the new human bridgehead base, as the humans have come to literally colonise
Pandora following the dying state of Earth.
So I think this may all be connected in a big way.
Essentially, what if Quaritch goes to the Ash People initially to kickstart a Navi civil
war that will effectively do what he couldn't, and
that's wipe out Jake and the Metkayina from the inside.
I think that would be the ideal starting point for a new conflict in the next film and one
that is really intriguing, cause we're seeing the reverse of the other instalments.
This isn't humans vs the Navi again, it's the developing issues of the navi themselves
stemming to a planatary civil war.
And you may ask, well, how does this develop and lead
to what we'd presume would be a later battle against the militarised humans at their new
bridgehead base.
Well, I do think we're going to see these introduced tribes eventually team up
after their civil war.
The only way the Navi can stand a chance against the humans at that bridgehead base is for
them to build an alliance with many other tribes that don't like them
to begin with.
Ones that can maybe bring more fire power to that future fight.
The Avatar universe seems to be expanding to become a global
affair and with Cameron introducing all these different tribes, characters, conflicts and
spiritual elements, to me that just makes the most logical sense.
So yeah, I think Quaritch will help to kickstart a navi civil war, they'll
eventually fight and put aside their differences, and in the process, like I said in my other
theory video, I think Quaritch will also eventually come around and have a transformation
himself.
I think we'll see that his human son, Spider, will be a big reason for that and maybe when
he also has a greater understanding of things like Eywa, he'll come around.
These understandings and past battles with the Navi will give him a reason to change,
and going forward he'll have a chance at re-living, not
just in his new Avatar body, but with his refound son.
Moving on, it's not just Avatar 3 to think about though, because Landau did also hint
about where this could be going in Avatar 4 and 5.
In the same interview he said that there will be
“a big time jump” for Avatar 4, which will then lead into Avatar 5” and its partial
setting on Earth.
Of course we learnt in an interview months ago that the prodcuer confirmed that
Avatar 5 would visit Earth and he said in that interview that “we'd go to it to open
people’s eyes and open Neytiri’s eyes to what exists on Earth now.”
So starting with that first point, what do I think the big time jump is
in Avatar 4.
Well I think it's one of two things.
Either, it's to do with aging up the young cast and having them alongside an older Jake
and Neytiri, following a final controntation with
the humans at bridgehead.
Or I think it's to do with that eventual travelling to earth timeline in the buildup to Avatar
5, following that war.
The way he phrased that time jump quote, suggests to me that it's more likely to be the later
when the Navi travel from Pandora to Earth.
Just based on everything we've heard and currently know of, my theory would be that we're going
to see the big bridgehead battle take place within Avatar 4 and then I think
something will motivate Neytiri, the surviving Navi and even the surviving humans to join
up, go to Earth and see if they can save that planet or help the humans off it peacefully.
They've come back twice to Pandora to either aggresively strip it's resources or colonise
the place, so now by having won that war, I think the Navi, being the nature-loving
species that they are, would try to at least help
and form some sort of truce for the long-term.
They wouldn't want to send the humans back to their planet like they did following the
first war in Avatar 1, because that doesn't solve
the tension between them.
No, the way to stop the wars and build a brighter future for both species, is to start forming
some sort of truce and really see the state of humanity in it's
current dying form so that they can maybe help.
Landau had said to Empire in that same interview that “there’s over-population and a
depletion of our natural resources that make life harder in Avatar’s version of Earth".
He also said, "we don’t want to paint a bleak picture for where our world is going.
The films are also about the idea that we can change
course.”
Having Neytiri go to earth and see that this species is not all bad like the military presence
on Pandora, I think will change her, and really help the remaining Navi as a whole
to understand that there can be a future where these two species help each other forward.
Now when it comes to the ending of that storyline in Avatar 5, I'm not sure whether
this means that the Navi will help humanity live on Pandora or take them to one of the
other nearby moons and let them live peacefully there,
but I do think we can start to theorise over some other things in the buildup to that final
film and the franchise ending.
And in particular, I think it acts as another motivator of
Neytiri's journey to Earth.
As I theorised in my last Avatar video, I spoke about how I think Jake Sully will eventually
die at that Bridgehead battle.
Yes Sam Worthington and Stephen Lang have been confirmed
to star in all 5 Avatar movies, but for all we know, that might mean that they could either
star in flashbacks or be in scenes that take place within Eywa.
We already saw in The Way Of Water that Jake and Neytiri could revisit
moments or spend time in Eywa with their dead son Neteyam, so whats to say that this doesn't
becaome the case for a deceased Jake Sully who
sacrifices himself and goes to Eywa.
After all, James Cameron said that the studio gave their reaction to the script of Avatar
4 and said that it really shocked them once they read it.
So that would be my theory for how things transpire.
I think by the end of Avatar 3 we'll see a civil war that ends in alliance, and in that
alliance, Quaritch will help make amends for the past.
And then in Avatar 4, I think we'll see the bridgehead battle, with Quaritch now fighting
allongside the navi, and a devastating outcome in the process.
One where loads of Navi perish, loads of humans perish, and
with that the sacrifice of Jake Sully too.
Also notice how Landau and Cameron have only spoken about Neytiri and her eyes being opened
by her visit to earth in Avatar 5.
We haven't heard anything about Jake being there, so that's again another thing that
brings this death of Jake idea into my recent theories.
But yeah once that Battle ends in Avatar 4, I think
the remaining humans and Navi on Pandora will agree to not let this happen again.
I think the Navi will show the surviving humans that all of
their lives are important and furthermore, all connected through Eywa.
And I think the death of Jake and Neytiri's people in multiple wars over the years, will
only motivate her, the others and maybe even a surviving Quaritch,
to go back to earth and try and help resolve the decades of issues between them.
Enter the big time jump with the surviving humans and navi
as they travel to Earth and the fourth movie will essentially end with Neytiri seeing the
terrible state of that planet, to set up the storyline and themes in Avatar 5.
Of course, we can only theorise at this point and bring
our own creative ideas to what Cameron will actually do with the sequels, but just in
the few details we have had already, it does really get
me thinking.
There's many directions that the filmmaker can go, and these brief theories that I have
are just the main talking points and it doesn't include the evolution of other
characters, such as Jake and Neytiri's children, which we are bound to see a lot of.
But that's what I think could happen and I am really excited to see which route James
Cameron goes in.
But that was my video discussing the latest Avatar 3 news and my current theories towards
the upcoming films.
We'll have to see what James Cameron and his writters do with the
storylines, but I think there's a lot of potential with the new characters and plot elements
to really elevate this saga beyond what we've already seen.
I'm interested to see what the fire navi are all about in the next instalment,
whether that be through their importance to the story or their visual appearance, and
I'm intrigued to see how Cameron will eventually transitions to that Earth setting by Avatar
5.
It sounds like we're leading towards a big thematic message surrounding Earth and the
environment, and if we see that through the eyes of
Neytiri, it definitely promises a fascinating close to this journey.
But what do you think towards all of the new details, what do you think of some of my updated
theories, and what predictions do you have for the Avatar sequels.
