Filmmaker James Cameron recently revealed inside details about the upcoming installment in the sci-fi franchise, Avatar 3. The director said, “Fire has a symbolic purpose in the film and there’s a culture that is specifically around that concept. That’s probably saying too much as we speak. You’re going to meet two completely new cultures in the next film.”
“We met the Omaticaya, we met the Metkayina, and you’re going to meet two new cultures in the next film, and it kind of drove a little more freely around the world of Pandora to different places,” James Cameron told Deadline.
