“The big [creative] advance in [‘Avatar 3’] is just going to be greater character depth. We’re seeing new cultures, new creatures — all the same stuff you’d expect from an ‘Avatar’ movie, but the whole idea of this cycle of films is to live with these people and go on this epic journey with them.”
According to the director, Avatar 3 will introduce more complex and thrilling characters among the ash people of Pandora. He also added:
“This is a journey over time. It will play out through movie three, into movie four, and movie five. There’s an epic cycle to the whole thing.”
The third movie will likely serve as a significant entry in the film series, considering that it will have more advanced digital effects and an expanded franchise tradition. The cast of Avatar 3 includes actors from the last film with new ones, including David Thewlis who’s claimed to be playing an unnamed Na’vi character.
