LOS ANGELES — The world premiere of “Avatar: Fire and Ash” was held in Hollywood on Monday.
Some of the stars at the premiere included Zoe Saldaña, Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver and director James Cameron.
The third film in the “Avatar” blockbuster franchise features familiar characters – Jake Sully (Worthington), Neytiri (Saldaña), Kiri (Weaver) – along with some new ones, such as the villainous Varang, played by Oona Chaplin.
There’s new trouble in Pandora with the introduction of an aggressive new tribe. Things get tough as a new chapter plays out – this time with more female characters in the middle of it all.
“James Cameron doubles down and is never afraid to cast great people in his projects, regardless of their race or gender,” Saldaña said on the red carpet. “We are all in Pandora trying to tell an amazing story.”
Worthington noted that audiences are familiar with the characters and story, but Cameron “ramps it up.”
When asked if he’s able to watch the film as a regular moviegoer, Cameron said, “Up until before I started mixing the movie I could still cry in the scenes where you’re supposed to cry, and there are about five of them in this film.”
Weaver said the film resonates with what’s going on in the world right now.
“It’s a difficult, challenging time and there’s a lot of heartbreak,” she said.
There’s plenty of action to go with it, too.
“Expect the unexpected because what you think is going to happen is not going to happen,” said Jack Champion, who reprises his role as Spider. “Everything is just going to go pretty bonkers.”
There’s also the man who composed the score for the movie that has a run time more than three hours.
“I did say at some point I have run out of notes,” composer Simon Franglen said. “I have written 1,904 pages of music for this film.”
“Avatar: Fire and Ash” will be in theaters Dec. 19.
The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of 20th Century Studios and this ABC station.
