“It’s Different”: ‘Avatar: Fire & Ash’s Stephen Lang Teases Changes for Quaritch in the Action Sci-Fi Sequel [Exclusive]

Colonel Quaritch’s story is one of the most compelling in the Avatar films. After seemingly dying in the first movie, he returned in Avatar: The Way of Water as a Na’vi avatar. This new body, combined with his memories, caused him to question his own existence, especially after learning his son, Spider (Jack Champion), was alive and well on Pandora. In a recent interview with MovieWeb, Stephen Lang, who plays Quaritch, discussed what his character faces in the upcoming film, Fire and Ash. He explained that these new relationships on Pandora represent uncharted territory for Quaritch.

The Infamous Star Wars Holiday Special & How It Served As The Origin Of Boba Fett

The Star Wars Holiday Special brought back familiar faces like Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, R2-D2, and C-3PO. But the special mainly followed Chewbacca’s family and their wish for him to come home for a holiday called Life Day. Life Day is similar to Christmas in the Star Wars universe. It began as a Wookiee tradition centered around family and peace, but it became a widely celebrated holiday across the galaxy.

The President’s Cake Review: Iraqi Oscar Shortlisted Tragicomedy’s Sweetness Belies Empty Calories

While the film excels in its visuals and acting, and accurately portrays the time period, its impact is lessened by a lack of focus.

Everything, from the detailed city settings to the characters themselves, reflects the crumbling society around them, but this broad approach diminishes the film’s unique power.

The Eyes Wide Shut Conspiracy

Kubrick’s films often gain new layers of meaning over time, and Eyes Wide Shut is no exception. While the film is known for its explicit scenes, more unsettling moments—like one where a shop owner seemingly offers his young daughter to Tom Cruise’s character—suggest a world where sex, power, and exploitation are intertwined. Looking back, these subtle hints now seem to foreshadow disturbing events that would later come to light. In the 2010s, conspiracy theories like Pizzagate and QAnon brought rumors of elite sex-trafficking into public view. Then, with the arrest and death of Jeffrey Epstein, Kubrick’s film, once overlooked by many, began to feel eerily prophetic.
