Words Adam Matulewicz

From the ashes of their son Neteyam’s death, a flame is born in Jake, Neytiri, and the Sully family.

After the events of The Way Of Water, the Sullys are dragged into the volcanic badlands of Pandora, a beautiful alien planet that once seemed serene, but now simmers with growing danger and destruction. A new threat looms on the horizon, one unlike any they’ve faced before.

The Ash People are a clan of Na’vi, not quite so blue, but forged from fire. Past hardships have shaped them into a fierce, fiery, and unforgiving force. Neytiri, still grieving and burning with vengeance, may find an unexpected kinship among them and their leader, the formidable Varang. She will stop at nothing to protect her people – even if it means crossing the line between justice and the kind of evil the sky people brought to their world.

The main cast returns as Pandora’s next chapter ignites, once again led by Sam Worthington as human-turned-Na’vi captain Jake Sully and Zoe Saldaña as the native Neytiri. Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Cliff Curtis, and Kate Winslet all return too, alongside new faces including David Thewlis’ nomadic Peylak and Oona Chaplin as the Ash People’s menacing leader.

The third chapter in this five-part epic marks a point of no return. The fire has been lit, and it’s about to burn brighter than ever.
