Cameron makes particular reference to the new character Varang, who will be played by Oona Chaplin in Avatar: Fire and Ash. She's the leader of a clan of Na'vi who are volcano-dwelling, rather than being in the air or sea. He spoke more to Empire about that newcomer, offering:

The new issue of Empire features a brand new look at the next Avatar movie – along with a major new James Cameron interview, all part of our Path To Pandora, bringing you fresh Avatar updates across every single Empire issue of 2025.

Fire and Ash has been released. Avatar: Fire and Ash will be released in United States theaters this coming December from 20th Century Studios. The third installment in the Avatar film franchise, Fire and Ash will once again be directed by James Cameron.
