‘Avatar 3’ Will Connect to Pandora at Walt Disney World
James Cameron is starting to give Avatar fans more insight into what to expect in the upcoming Avatar 3 movie.
The blockbuster director has already divulged that the movie is finished and that it will feature a new narrator. Now, however, Cameron is diving into the new characters in the film, even divulging a surprising fact about where they took inspiration.
What We Know About Avatar 3
In the press circuit following the release of Avatar: The Way of Water, James Cameron revealed that the third Avatar film would flip the franchise’s normal formula.
So far, we know that a new tribe of Na’vi will be introduced. Known as the Ash People, these Na’vi are more aggressive and unfriendly than the other tribes depicted so far.
Additionally, Cameron has noted that the film will introduce more friendly humans, including Michelle Yeoh’s Dr. Karina Mogue.
A Walt Disney World Connection
In addition to the Ash People, Cameron recently told Deadline Hollywood that Avatar 3 will feature characters from Walt Disney World’s Pandora in the new story. You can find Pandora in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Cameron described these characters as “desert people…the Windtraders that trade, that travel around, that sort of thing.”
Fans of Walt Disney World will recognize “Windtraders” as the name of Pandora’s largest shop.
According to the store’s backstory, while the shop is run by ACE employees, traveling Na’vi traders are responsible for the store’s stock of Na’vi cultural items!
Having a previously established location in Walt Disney World influence the blockbuster film will certainly be exciting. Previously, Cameron revealed the Ilu in Avatar: The Way of Water had already been featured in the popular Animal Kingdom ride, Avatar: Flight of Passage.
When Will Avatar 3 Be Released
Fans of Avatar will have to wait until Avatar 3 hits theaters in December 2024 before getting to see the full extent of the connection between Pandora at Disney World and the new film. Until then, all we can do is wait, and speculate.
