As James Cameron prepares to unveil the next chapter of his monumental Avatar saga, global anticipation continues to surge. Fans around the world are waiting to return to Pandora, eager to see how its cultures, conflicts and clans evolve in Avatar: Fire and Ash. One of the most intriguing additions is Varang, the formidable new leader from the Fire Clan, brought to life by Oona Chaplin. 

Oona Chaplin sheds light on her character 

For Oona Chaplin, Varang was never a one-note antagonist. Instead, she approached her as a woman driven by trauma, separation and an unwavering sense of principle. “I never saw her as a villain, and I don`t think you say that as well, you`re not the villain, you know, it`s a little complicated, but I think both of these characters are also very principled."
