Stephen Lang, known for his role in Avatar: Fire and Ash, has revealed details about the surprising partnership his character, Quaritch, forms in the new movie.

So, the new Avatar movie? It’s all about Quaritch being obsessed with finding Jake Sully, and this time he’s teamed up with this really ruthless leader named Varang from the Ash clan. She’s super power-hungry and helps him in his endless hunt. It’s shaping up to be a pretty intense chase!

At first, their connection appears based on what each person can gain from the other, but as they grow closer, they start to genuinely respect each other.

Lang explained to Digital Spy that the two characters share a strong, instant connection – a sense of recognizing a soulmate or someone very similar to themselves.

It’s rare for Quaritch to instantly connect with someone he sees as similar to himself. This is likely why he initially admired Jake.

He explained that she exists in a world where Quaritch feels at ease – a world of constant conflict. He described the Ash People’s camp as a sort of battlefield, a place where Quaritch is completely in his element.

Actress Oona Chaplin, known for her role in Varang, shared her experience working with Stephen Lang, describing him as “very thoughtful and very cultured.”

“He is so quick, he’s a whip,” she said. “He’s very original, very thoughtful, and very cultured.

He’s incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable, and he has a wonderful personality. We connected instantly, and I quickly fell for him.

The Game of Thrones actor explained that he feels very warmly towards the person in question, and also towards their family. He found something surprisingly familiar in them, noting they reminded him of his own mother due to their unique spirit and determination.

He was a fantastic actor to work with, and I learned a lot from him about creating a compelling, strong character – one that’s a villain, but in a really cool and effective way.

Three years after Avatar: The Way of Water, Avatar: Fire and Ash returns to the story of Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) and Jake as they mourn the loss of their son, Neteyam.

During their journey, they encounter the Mangkwan, a fierce Na’vi clan also called the Ash People, and their determined leader, Varang, who will do anything to defend her people.

Avatar: Fire and Ash is released in cinemas on 19 December
