Actor Sam Worthington has opened up to Empire magazine about his experience filming the upcoming sequel, ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’. He described the process as effortless, stating, “I’ve always found it very easy. I love being back in that Volume… nothing compares.” Worthington will reprise his role as Jake Sully alongside returning cast members like Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, and Stephen Lang.
“I always say it’s the curse that Jim has given me, and it’s a beautiful curse, but nothing ever compares to when I film on Avatar. It feels very right and safe like home,” the 49-year-old actor admitted. He reminisced about filming the original ‘Avatar’ in 2007, when he was 29 years old. He noted that at that age, he was more like his character Jake—ready to “dive into anything” and willing to do “whatever is necessary with no regard for his own safety.”
Worthington acknowledged that now, being older, it takes him more effort to get into that mindset. He concluded, “I love playing the character because of that reason. He’s not as cautious or as anxious as I am in real life.” The film ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ is scheduled for release on December 19, 2025.
