An alternate design for the Na’vi in James Cameron’s original Avatar is revealed in an early piece of concept art for the hit 2009 film, and it looks strikingly different from the final picture.
An early piece of Avatar concept art reveals an unused design for a Na'vi elder in James Cameron's original film. Released in 2009, Avatar tells the story of paraplegic marine Jake Sully , who is tasked with using an avatar body in order to infiltrate a community of Na'vi, the native inhabitants of the alien moon of Pandora. Jake's task is made more complicated, however, when he falls in love with Neytiri , the daughter of a Na'vi chieftain.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY A piece of concept art shared by artist Joseph C. Pepe, which is featured in The Art of Avatar: James Cameron's Epic Adventure, highlights just how daunting a task it was to create all of Avatar's flora and fauna, especially the Na'vi. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Joseph C. Pepe The art, which is from very early on in development in 2004 long before creature designs had been finalized, is a mock-up of a male Na'vi elder. Although many elements of the design would be changed and refined as development went on, the Na'vis' distinct bioluminescence was seemingly a key element from the very early stages.
In addition to Avatar 3, Cameron also has plans for Avatar 4 and 5. All four sequels to the first movie were planned and written at the same time, meaning the overarching story for the franchise and the Sully family has already been completely mapped out. Fewer details are known about Avatar 4 at this point, but Cameron has confirmed that part of the first act has already been filmed.
Many questions remain about the future Avatar sequels, but Cameron recently clarified that the entire Sully family will remain at the center of the story for all the films, assuaging any concerns that Jake and Neytiri will be passing the baton to the younger generation. Considering the third movie has already been filmed, it seems very likely that it will retain its 2024 release date, but it's less clear if the subsequent Avatar sequels will keep their dates for 2026 and 2028, respectively.
