Before The Verge, he wrote about comic books, labor, race, and more at io9 and Gizmodo for almost five years. The first trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash is finally here, and it looks like James Cameron might have made another banger. While human / Na’vi recombinants like Colonel Quaritch (Stephen Lang) are still a constant threat, the real danger appears to be Varang (Oona Chaplin), leader of the Ash People. Thankfully, the trailer doesn’t spell out how Fire and Ash will bring all of its characters together. But it does make it look like the movie’s going to be a feast for the eyes when it hits theaters on December 19th.
