CIJames Cameron’s Avatar franchise is well regarded for delivering over-the-top action sequences and stunning visual effects. All of that aside, the films also showcase a bit of romance, mostly from Jake and Neytiri. However, those two aren’t the only power couple in the franchise’s latest installment, Fire and Ash, as Col. Miles Quaritch hooks up with a witchy Na’vi named Varang, and their romantic tension is very palpable in one scene involving a tent. Now, Cameron is opening up about crafting that scene and how it almost changed.
In his continued efforts to bring in Jake Sully for the RDA, Quartich forms an alliance with the Mangkwan tribe, led by Varang (played by franchise newcomer Oona Chaplin). He even arms her tribe with weapons Before that, though, Varang feels out Quaritch – physically and literally – while exposing him to a hallucinogen and cutting him with a knife. Since Fire and Ash’s release amid the 2025 movie schedule, the scene has gone viral, and Cameron has a take on why it’s so interesting to watch.
