Read the full James Cameron interview about the new Avatar film in Empire's 28 Years Later issue, on sale Thursday 16 January.
The new issue of Empire features a brand new look at the next Avatar movie.
“Varang is the leader of a people who have gone through an incredible hardship. She's hardened by that,” Cameron tells Empire of that central figure. “She will do anything for them, even things that we would consider to be evil,” he teases. “One thing we wanted to do in this film is not be black-and-white simplistic.” For once, it might not just be the human-led RDA bringing the ruckus. “We’re trying to evolve beyond the ‘all humans are bad, all Na’vi are good’ paradigm,” Cameron explains.
