Will Quaritch Betray Humans in Avatar 4?
In the Avatar movies, Colonel Miles Quaritch is a tough human soldier reborn as a Na’vi avatar. He fights hard for the Resources Development Administration, or RDA, the group that wants to take over Pandora. But after events in Avatar: Fire and Ash, fans wonder if he might turn against humans in the next film, Avatar 4. Let’s look at what happened and what it could mean.
Fire and Ash came out in 2025 and showed big battles between the Na’vi and RDA forces. Quaritch teams up with Varang, a fierce Na’vi leader from the Ash People. He gives them guns to capture Spider, his human son, and Jake Sully, the Na’vi hero who betrayed humans long ago. Quaritch drags them to an RDA base. There, Spider faces experiments, and Jake is marked for death as a traitor.https://www.looper.com/2051088/avatar-fire-and-ash-ending-explained/
The story builds to a huge fight. Na’vi and sea creatures push back, helped by Kiri connecting to Eywa, Pandora’s life force. In the end, Jake and Quaritch battle in a wild anti-gravity spot. Spider nearly falls to his death. Both men stop fighting to save him. Jake offers Quaritch a hand, like a chance to join the good side. But when Neytiri and the Sullys show up, Quaritch gets scared and throws himself off a ledge into fiery storms below.https://www.gamesradar.com/entertainment/sci-fi-movies/avatar-fire-and-ash-ending-explained-who-dies/https://www.looper.com/2051088/avatar-fire-and-ash-ending-explained/
Is Quaritch dead? Probably not. He came back once before in an avatar body. His mind could be saved on a server for another comeback. Some say this fall hints at change. He saved Spider and paused his grudge with Jake. It looked like redemption for a second.https://www.gamesradar.com/entertainment/sci-fi-movies/avatar-fire-and-ash-ending-explained-who-dies/
Humans see Jake as a race traitor since he picked Na’vi over RDA in the first movie. RDA workers gawk at him like a monster in their base. This shows hate from regular folks, not just leaders. Quaritch shares that view but his bond with Spider pulls him toward Na’vi ways.https://www.cinemablend.com/movies/had-doubts-about-rumored-direction-for-avatar-franchise-changed-my-mind-after-fire-and-ashhttps://www.gamesradar.com/entertainment/sci-fi-movies/avatar-fire-and-ash-ending-explained-who-dies/
Avatar 4 might explore Quaritch switching sides. His Na’vi body lets him live like them. Spider’s love could tip him over. Rumors point to Earth stories later, where humans face a dying world. Quaritch might see RDA’s greed up close and pick Pandora instead. Or he returns as a villain, chasing old grudges. James Cameron loves surprises, so expect twists.
