Laz Alonso teases this Avatar: Fire and Ash understand “a little pleasure” for Tsu’tey fans. Alonso played the character Na’vi in the original Avatar film, where he was a talented warrior at odds with Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) for much of the story. Jake and Tsu’tey eventually fought together to defend Pandora from the RDA, but Tsu’tey died during the battle.
In an article celebrating Avatar: Fire and AshAt the world premiere of , Alonso posted several images from the red carpet and ended his caption by saying: “If you’re a #Tsu’Tey fan….. you might get a little treat” followed by a winking emoji.
He also described the first as “a full circle moment” and described Fire and ashes like a “A magnificent, suspenseful and sincere film” which he encourages everyone to see when the sequel hits theaters on December 19. Check out Alonso’s message and images from the event below:
According to Alonso’s legend, it is very unlikely that he will be a surprise member of Avatar: Fire and Ash‘s cast and that the sequel revives the deceased Tsu’tey. His formulation of “a little pleasure” indicates that there will instead be a fitting reference or Easter egg that honors the character’s legacy.
Even though Tsu’tey hasn’t appeared in the franchise since 2009, he remains an essential character who played a crucial role in Jake’s understanding of Pandora and the Na’vi clans, particularly the Omatikaya clan. A lot has changed for Jake and Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) since Tsu’tey tried to separate them, but there remains an important part of the journey that brought them together.
A nod to Tsu’tey also goes hand in hand with Fire and ashes being called “the culmination of a saga” by James Cameron. Although more sequels are planned, Cameron explains that Fire and ashes This is the end of the saga that began with the first film, while Avatar 4 And Avatar 5 are rather their own saga. This makes it all the more important for the franchise to recognize Tsu’tey as the story he helped start comes to a close.
Since he played in AvatarAlonso has appeared in a wide range of films and television shows, although his biggest role was as Mother’s Milk in the hit Prime Video series. The boys. Despite his professional background and the fact that he played Tsu’tey almost two decades ago, Alonso remains a fan of the character, of the franchise, and is already one of those who already praise Avatar: Fire and Ash.
