We’re Worried About Jake & Neytiri After Zoe Saldaña’s Latest Avatar 3 Tease

In a chat with Variety, Zoe Saldaña, known for her role in Avatar: Fire and Ash, offers insights into the movie’s narrative, suggesting a deeply emotional journey for the Sully family. When asked about what fans can anticipate when the new Avatar film hits screens this December, Saldaña was tight-lipped about specifics, but hinted that Fire and Ash will challenge Jake and Neytiri as they deal with the repercussions of the storyline in Avatar: The Way of Water. She also hinted at some difficult decisions ahead for the characters.

Saldaña stated that “The Way of Water” will take us on an emotional journey with ups and downs. The heart-wrenching finale left the Sully family in immense pain. Now, they must make some tough choices: do they stick together and find common ground or go their separate paths? And only time will tell what becomes of the young ones.

In “Avatar: The Way of Water,” Jake and Neytiri experience the heart-wrenching loss of their firstborn son, Neteyam, in the film’s final battle. Previously, Zoe Saldaña has hinted at how this theme will unfold in the third movie, stating that the Sully family must discover a means to endure amidst the persistent strife on Pandora. Director James Cameron assures us that “Fire and Ash” will tackle grief realistically, setting it apart from other big-budget Hollywood productions.

In the future installments of the Avatar series, director James Cameron aims to elevate storytelling by pushing boundaries, promising a depth and mystery never experienced before in the franchise. He’s also focusing on exploring deeper emotional aspects while playfully subverting established themes. The creation of the Ash Clan represents his intention to move beyond the stereotype he referred to as “the ‘all humans are evil, all Na’Vi are good’ narrative”.

The Sullivan family is resolute in battling the Resource Development Administration (RDA), yet with the loss of a child, carrying on this battle won’t come without difficulty. Since Jake and Neytiri have been the heart of the Avatar films since their inception, it would be deeply painful if they were to separate in ‘Fire and Ash’. Such a turn of events aligns with Cameron’s intention to portray grief; each person grieves uniquely, and it’s possible that Neytiri might find the weight too heavy and choose to depart from Jake. Even if they reunite eventually, this scenario promises intriguing drama, as we witness how these characters navigate through such a challenging situation.

It appears that due to the deep bond between Jake and Neytiri, it seems improbable they’d permanently part ways. However, they might require time apart to deal with their experiences and decide on their next steps. This separation is often used in sequels to let characters develop individually before reuniting. Employing this formula for Avatar: Fire and Ash could intensify its emotional core; a Jake and Neytiri reunion near the end of the movie would offer a powerful resolution. Whatever unfolds, it seems that Avatar 3 will have rich themes to complement its sci-fi action.
