Avatar: Fire and Ash will change the way you saw the beautiful world of Pandora when the fiery Ash people enter this equation. Just yesterday, we got a second trailer of the third film in James Cameron's epic science fiction franchise. It was really tense there as an all-out war awaits.
While many familiar faces will return from the previous films, some new characters are being added to the franchise. James Cameron has put a larger emphasis on the characters this time. He even discussed this in an interview with People Magazine. He told the publication:
"It’s not about, ‘We’re going to show you the best water [VFX] ever done’ — but you get more into the heart and soul of the characters. And there’s some very interesting new characters that come in as well."
We will now see who is playing whom in the movie in this cast and character guide below.
