New Delhi: James Cameron's panoramic Avatar universe has just grown in an exciting new way with the trailer launch of "Avatar: Fire and Ash." The much-awaited animated series, based in the richly detailed world of Pandora, brings on board the Tlalim Clan — a never-before-seen community called the Wind Traders, bringing a sense of mystery and intrigue to the Na'vi legend.
The teaser, originally screened exclusively before The Fantastic Four: First Steps, had garnered headlines after being leaked.
The trailer shows the two new tribes emerge, the Wind Traders and the fierce Ash People, as Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), and their Na’vi family battle from the skies. The footage also showcases a war-painted Quaritch (Stephen Lang), seemingly aligned with dark forces.
A chilling moment sees Varang (Oona Chaplin) telling Kiri (Sigourney Weaver), “Your goddess has no dominion here.” As Sully is captured and paraded, young Spider is thrown into chaos. Loyalties are tested, and the fight for Pandora’s soul deepens.
Sent decades prior to the events of the first Avatar films, Fire and Ash delves into the spiritual and cultural richness of Pandora's native clans. The Tlalim Clan, being the main focus of the trailer, are cloud-dwelling explorers who ride across Pandora's expansive winds on majestic, manta-like beasts.
Avatar: Fire and Ash is set to continue deepening Pandora's mythology while delving into fresh environmental themes. The addition of the Tlalim means that, through the show, audiences can anticipate a narrative as magical as it is relevant.
