Discover the fresh faces joining the world of Pandora in Avatar: The Seed Bearer, bringing a blend of star power and exciting new dynamics to the epic saga.
New Blood on Pandora: Meet the Cast
-
Oona Chaplin as Varang: Granddaughter of Charlie Chaplin and known for her roles in Game of Thrones and Taboo, Chaplin portrays Varang, the intriguing leader of the Ash People. This fire-based Na’vi clan marks a first for the Avatar universe, likely adding a fiery new dynamic to the conflict. Their connection to Pandora’s volcanic regions suggests they may hold different spiritual beliefs and possess unique combat skills, potentially setting them at odds with other Na’vi clans. Could they be the primary antagonists of Avatar 3, clashing with Jake Sully and his family? Or will they become unexpected allies?

David Thewlis as an Unnamed Na’vi: Acclaimed actor David Thewlis, best known as Remus Lupin in the Harry Potter films, joins the Avatar saga as a mysterious Na’vi. Intriguingly, his role isn’t confined to just Avatar 3; he’s slated to appear in Avatar 4 and 5 as well. This suggests a significant, possibly evolving, role within the narrative. Some speculate he could be a spiritual leader, perhaps even a keeper of ancient Na’vi knowledge. His extended presence practically guarantees a complex and compelling character arc. Could he be connected to the Ash People, or perhaps another, yet-unseen Na’vi clan?

Michelle Yeoh as Dr. Karina Mogue: Fresh off her Oscar win for Everything Everywhere All at Once, Michelle Yeoh joins the Avatar universe as Dr. Karina Mogue, a human scientist. Her presence raises many questions. Is she an ally or antagonist? Is she working with the RDA or part of a new faction? Some theories suggest she could be developing new technologies, perhaps related to interspecies communication or Pandora’s unique energy sources. Or perhaps she’s a rogue scientist operating independently.
