Neytiri Returns in Avatar: Fire and Ash Sneak Peek

BBG News

The Sully family faces a series of challenges in their quest for recovery following the heartrending incidents depicted in “The Way of Water“. A fresh glimpse from the upcoming third installment of “Avatar” reveals Neytiri, portrayed by Zoë Saldaña, ready to take great risks to safeguard her loved ones.

In the latest sneak peek for the upcoming film titled “Fire and Ash,” we catch a glimpse of Neytiri engaged in combat on Pandora, brandishing a bow and arrow. The intense expression on her face suggests she is overcome with rage, a feeling born from the grief shared by her and her partner, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), following the tragic death of their son, Neteyam, during the Na’vi’s decisive battle against the RDA. Zoe Saldaña has revealed that this upcoming movie will delve deeper into Neytiri’s anguish over her loss. “That pain is not just shown but also felt throughout the story,” she said. “As it has no resolution, anger can manifest from it. The Sully family will be put to the test.

Saldaña suggests that Neteyam’s death may lead Neytiri to doubt and scrutinize various aspects of her life, including her relationship with Jake, their family ties, her identity as a Na’vi, her connection to her homeland, and the Na’vi way of life. She predicts that Neytiri will be challenged to accept this new reality and grapple with these questions.

In the penultimate “Avatar” movie titled “Fire and Ash,” the story shifts from Pandora to Earth, where the Sully family persists in their fight against the RDA. They also encounter a new character played by Oona Chaplin. Zoe Saldana suggests that Neytiri will face her equal in the formidable leader of the Ash Clan, who has differing views on some Na’vi traditions. Director James Cameron implies that this film will depict the family grappling with Neteyam’s death and staying united, deviating from how such themes are usually handled in Hollywood.

In a recent update, Cameron hinted at the intensity of the film, while also expressing that it will be an emotional journey for viewers. Moreover, Disney CEO Bob Iger has highlighted the significant impact of “Fire and Ash” as well.
