Stephen Lang says that James Cameron’sAvatarsequels will very much have"political parallels"to events in the substantial globe . The originalAvatardidn’t just shy away from politics either , with its storey about humans exploit the exotic moon Pandora and waging warfare against its aboriginal population , the Na’vi . Cameron ’s movie was also a monster hit at the box office that grossed a record - obliterate $ 2.79 billion in theaters around the globe , thanks to its then - cutting border blend of CGI , motion - seizure , and 3D filmmaking techniques .
It take eight years , but Cameron’sAvatarsequels ( Avatar 2 and 3 , anyway ) lastly began shooting last twelvemonth . game particular are still being kept mostly under wraps at this period , but it has been sustain that the subsequence will focus in no small amount on now fulltime - Na’vi Jake Sully ( Sam Worthington ) and Neytiri ( Zoe Saldana ) , as well asJake and Neytiri ’s still - young offspring . Cameron has further suggested that theAvatarsequels , like their predecessor , will plunge into timely political issues - much like what Lang told us on the curing of the filmMortal Engines .

Despite the character ’s apparent end in the firstAvatar , Lang is reprising his role as the hard - edged , heavily - scarred Colonel Miles Quaritch in Cameron ’s coming continuation . While Lang is ( course ) staying tight - lipped about how , exactly , Quaritch fall from the dead , he has n’t desist from hype theAvatarsequels ' submersed settingsand bigger ambit , among other things . He also had this to say on theMortal Enginesset last class , whenScreen Rantasked him about theAvatarsequels ' political overtones .
" It kind of exit with the territory that journalists will and should kind of find the - draw political parallels from anything . They for sure will with Avatar . There ’s no question about that . And I opine with this one , you know , absolutely . "
It stands to reason that humankind wo n’t be done attempt to claim Pandora ’s resources by the time theAvatarsequels pick up , even after their defeat ( or , rather , forced withdrawal from the moon ) at the conclusion of the first motion-picture show . Cameron has further indicated thatQuaritch will serve as the main villainthroughout all fourAvatarsequels , sign that for him the delegacy to recapture Pandora will be personal as much as anything else . At the same time though , the managing director has shake off hints about Quaritch ’s electric arc in the films , suggest that he might not be as clear - cut a bad guy this metre around .
Either way , it will be interesting to see if theAvatarsequels draw any clear parallels between Quaritch and sure people in the real globe , in the way that Lang suggested . The Quaritch reference may indeed prove to be primal to how the films build on the originalAvatar ’s environmental concerns , along with its metaphor about the exploitation of autochthonal population in human history . deal thatAvatarhas long been criticized for taking a overweight - handed and regressive approach to those topics , one just hopes the sequel are a second smarter about how they go about tackling the same progeny .
