(There's not a whole lot to spoil in a plot that could be written on a proverbial cocktail napkin, but look away if you must.) Loading.Īlso in tow is Spider (Jack Champion), a feral human teenager who's inherited a legacy even more fraught than his white dreadlocks.
He and his wife Neytiri (a returning Zoe Saldaña) now have a brood of their own: teenage sons Neteyam (Jamie Flatters) and Lo'ak (Britain Dalton), eight-year-old daughter Tuk (Trinity Jo-Li Bliss), and an adopted 14-year-old girl by the name of Kiri – a miraculous offspring of Sigourney Weaver's late Dr Grace Augustine, voiced and performed (via age-defying motion capture) by the 73-year-old Weaver herself.
