Will Quaritch Switch Sides in Avatar 3?
Fans of the Avatar movies have one big question about Colonel Miles Quaritch: will he ever switch sides and join the Na’vi? Quaritch, the tough human soldier voiced by Stephen Lang, came back as a powerful Na’vi recom in Avatar: The Way of Water. He is still on a mission to fight Jake Sully and the Na’vi people. But some theories say he might change his mind in Avatar 3, also called Fire and Ashes.
One popular idea comes from fan videos online. A YouTube short titled “Jake Sully Will Change Quaritch After Avatar 3: Fire and Ashes” suggests that Jake could influence Quaritch to turn good.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/08plvt4gjyM The video hints at big changes for Quaritch after the events of the third film. It points to how Quaritch now lives as a Na’vi, which might make him feel more connected to Pandora’s world.
In the second movie, Quaritch shows small signs of doubt. He spares some Na’vi lives and questions orders at times. This could build up in Avatar 3. Director James Cameron loves deep character arcs, like how Jake switched from human marine to Na’vi hero in the first film. Quaritch’s son, Spider, who is part Na’vi and raised by Jake, might play a key role. Spider already shows mixed feelings toward his dad, pulling him toward the Na’vi side.
Avatar 3 focuses on the Ash People, a fiery Na’vi clan. Quaritch could get involved with them, leading to his own growth. If Jake helps him see the human side’s wrongs, like destroying nature, Quaritch might rebel against his old bosses. This would make for an epic twist, turning the villain into an uneasy ally.
Not everyone agrees. Some say Quaritch is too stubborn to change. He hates Jake and wants revenge. But with Cameron’s story style, anything is possible. Fans will have to wait for the movie’s release to find out.
