James Cameron fires Jake Sully as Avatar's narrator, announces new narrator for each sequel
Sully's son Lo'ak will be our tour guide for the third trip to Pandora
Avatar: The Way Of Water is about to cross the $2 billion mark despite being part of a culturally insignificant, memory-holed franchise. As promised by James Cameron, should anyone show up for his second Pandorian holiday, he would round out the series with another three movies. Now the culture that routinely rejects Cameron’s visions is staring down the barrel of three more sequels.
Though the filmmaker says Avatar 3 is “in the can” and has entered post-production, we don’t know much about it. For now, all that’s public is that the film introduces fire Na’vi as the series moves from the forest level to water level to fire level, like Link adventuring through various Hyrulian temples. Unlike Zelda, the perspective will change with each movie.
On the “Soundtracking With Edith Bowman” podcast, Cameron revealed that he fired Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) as Avatar’s default narrator. After two film’s with Sully’s dulcet tones whisking us from the top of the Halleluja Mountains to the pools of Awa’atlu, Sully’s eldest son Lo’ak (Britain Dalton) will take the reigns. It’s what the people want.
