With the third installment of the “Avatar” saga just around the corner, this list takes a fresh look at returning cast members and introduces the new faces joining “Avatar: Fire and Ash.” Be warned, here are spoilers from the first two movies ahead.
CCH Pounder – Mo’at
The Omatikaya tsahìk is Neytiri’s mother and the clan’s spiritual compass, guiding the Sullys through rites and crisis. She also plays a key role in Jake’s permanent transfer.
Britain Dalton – Lo’ak
Jake and Neytiri’s second son wrestles with feeling like an outsider, but proves brave and resourceful in the seas of Pandora. He becomes pivotal to the family’s survival.
Wes Studi – Eytukan
Neytiri’s father and Omatikaya clan chief in the first film, Eytukan embodies the tribe’s authority and loss during the fall of Hometree.
Kate Winslet – Ronal
Metkayina matriarch and legendary free-diver whose ferocity matches her skill. Winslet trained to hold her breath for over seven minutes for the role.
Joel David Moore – Norm Spellman
A scientist who operates an avatar body and later remains on Pandora among the allies of the Na’vi. He bridges human science and Na’vi culture more than most.

Tonowari and Ronal’s son is a young Metkayina hunter and free-diver. He learns, sometimes the hard way, what family means beyond his reef.

A Metkayina free-diver who grows from teasing to teamwork with the Sully kids. When trouble hits the reef, he shows up.

The former Marine becomes Omatikaya olo’eyktan and ultimately transfers to his avatar permanently. In the sequels, he’s a father first and a fighter by necessity.
Matt Gerald – Lyle Wainfleet
Brought back as a Recombinant under Quaritch, Wainfleet returns in a Na’vi body with SecOps muscle and a mean streak.

Chief of the Metkayina, Tonowari embodies hospitality and hard choices, asking the Sullys to learn and to fight when the sea calls.

A new Na’vi leader in “Fire and Ash”: head of the nomadic Wind Traders, an air-traveling clan that adds a whole new dimension to Pandora.

Head of the Avatar Program who also pilots her own avatar body. Grace’s legacy, scientific and spiritual echoes through every sequel.

The Sullys’ eldest son and model heir; his fate weighs heavily on the family and sets the emotional stakes for the next chapter.

Weaver’s surprise turn as an adopted Na’vi teenager, born from Grace’s avatar, becomes the mystical soul of “The Way of Water” and a lynchpin for where the story flows next. The Cameron-Weaver duo cannot be broken
