Will Kiri Control Eywa in Avatar 4?
In the latest Avatar movie, Fire and Ash, Kiri takes a big step closer to Eywa, the powerful life force that connects all of Pandora. Kiri, the adopted daughter of Jake and Neytiri, has always felt a special link to Eywa, but now she actually sees Eywa’s face during a huge battle. This happens with help from her friends Spider and Tuk, right at the story’s peak. Eywa shows up like a glowing Na’vi angel, lighting up the sky and sending Pandora’s animals to fight back against the human invaders and the fierce Ash People.

Kiri’s story starts back in Avatar: The Way of Water. She is a clone made from the body of Grace Augustine, the scientist who died in the first film. Strange things happen to Kiri, like seizures that lead to visions on Eywa’s spirit plane. There, she meets Grace’s spirit and feels Eywa’s pull, but she does not know her father or her full place in the world. Sigourney Weaver, who voices Kiri, says Kiri feels lost without a clear tie to Eywa, and Fire and Ash starts to answer those questions. Details on her origins are in https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/avatar-fire-and-ash-the-way-of-waters-ending-recap.
What makes Kiri stand out is her deep bond with Pandora. She feels like an outsider as a clone, much like Spider, but that sets her apart. In Fire and Ash, she proves her worth by reaching out to Eywa when things look darkest. Eywa wakes up, takes control of creatures across the planet, and turns the fight around against the RDA humans and Colonel Quaritch’s team. The Ash People, led by Varang, reject Eywa and follow their own harsh ways, calling her powerless in their lands. This sets up a clash between faith in Eywa and those who turn away from her.
As for Avatar 4, no one knows for sure yet what James Cameron has planned. Kiri’s new connection hints she could play a key role, maybe even guiding Eywa more directly. Her gaze into Eywa’s face feels like a sign of bigger things to come, much like steps toward evolution in old sci-fi stories. The three young Sully kids—Kiri, Spider, and Tuk—each fight to show they belong, so future films might let them lead. Kiri’s path from doubt to contact with Eywa builds excitement for what she might do next.
