James Cameron explores family theme in ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’

Director James Cameron said Friday that his highly anticipated “Avatar: Fire and Ash” deals with a deeply personal journey about family and conflict. "I've chosen to tell a story about family because I have a family. I have five children. I'm just going to put all that on Pandora. I'm going to put it in this fantastic realm, because I believe that anywhere around the world, people will be able to relate to those issues and those conflicts and those characters,” Cameron told Korean reporters during an online press conference. “Avatar: Fire and Ash” is the third installment of the blockbuster franchise, following 2009's "Avatar" and 2022's "Avatar: The Way of Water." The new film continues the saga of the family of Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a former human soldier who permanently transferred his consciousness into his Na'vi avatar, and Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña), a female Na'vi of the Omatikaya clan. They face new threats and challenges as the story sees the family grappling with grief after the loss of their eldest son in the previous installment and introduces new Na'vi clans. C
