Who is Kiris' dad?
Her father is not a father, her father is another mother, Eywa, the Great Mother, the sentient life force of Pandora itself that exists in all things there, but is rarely understood. So essentially yes, Kiri was born from Eywa just like Anakin Skywalker was allegedly conceived by the Force itself and its midichlorians.
Cameron later clarified that the nine hours of material referred to Avatar 3, Avatar 4 and Avatar 5 being each three-hour films for a total of nine hours. He revealed in an interview with 20 minutes that the film would feature new Na'vi people, called the 'Ash people', who will be the antagonists of the film.
Cameron said “Avatar 3” will explore “different cultures from those I have already shown. The fire will be represented by the 'Ash People. ' I want to show the Na'vi from another angle because, so far, I have only shown their good sides.”
Given that Avatar 3 was filmed at the same time as the sequel, we already know some confirmed returns for the next movie led by Sam Worthington as Jake Sully and Zoe Saldaña as Neytiri. "It's bigger than you can imagine," Worthington told People in January 2024.
Avatar 3 is shaping up to be wild, with a 6 year time jump – and Kate Winslet going to shaman school for her role. James Cameron has shared some new updates about Avatar 3 – and the film sounds wild in the best possible way. Speaking to People, Cameron revealed that the threequel would feature a major time skip.
The short and easy answer is, No. But, it's important to note that the Avatar franchise has brought dead characters back in the past. The Way of Water brought Quaritch back as a recombinant.
Production on Avatar 3 has almost finished, says James Cameron. The director, who's spent the last four years filming Avatar 3 and 4 back to back, says the third one is “pretty much in the can.”
The war between humanity and the Na'vi will have a bigger scale than previous film that happened in a big ship. This has led to speculation that Bridgehead will be the site of a major battle. James Cameron has hinted that the story will be focused on Lo'ak; Lo'ak has been confirmed as the film's narrator.
Daniel Andersson and Erika Magnusson's experimental Swedish film Logistics answered both questions when it came out in 2012. Logistics is the longest movie of all time, taking a whopping 35 days to end.
Lo'ak te Suli Tsyeyk'itan is the fourteen-year-old son of Jake Sully and Neytiri. His older brother is Neteyam and his younger sister is Tuktirey. He also has an adoptive sister named Kiri.
James Cameron's Avatar script actually has Jake Sully aged 22 when he's first introduced, not 28. However, that's when he's back on Earth, getting into a bar fight that constitutes Avatar's most important deleted scene.
James Cameron shot The Way of Water and Avatar 3 back-to-back. In fact, he even shot a bit of Avatar 4, but then switched to working on Avatar 2's VFX.

While attending the Critics Choice Awards, James Cameron dropped some nuggets about what fans could expect from Avatar 3, revealing the element of fire and two new cultures would be introduced.
The Avatar franchise has far from revealed all the secrets of the 20 Na'vi tribes. The Na'vi in Avatar strongly values the complex energy network of life on Pandora. They pray to the goddess Eywa, with whom they have a physical connection through the sacred Tree of Souls.
We didn't spend as much time on relationship and emotion in the first film as we do in the second film, and it's a longer film, because there's more characters to service. There's more story to service." "People say, 'Oh my god, a family story from Disney? Just what we want,'" Cameron continued.
In the Q&A with Jon Landau, the producer revealed that Avatar 3 will introduce two new Na'vi cultures. Landau explained, "We're going to meet at least two new clans in the next movie," Landau said. Likely one of these new cultures will be the fire Na'vi, of which Oona Chaplin's Varang will be a part.
